What happened?

We perform a package search on the frontend when creating a release.

This can cause an issue where release creation is blocked when feed hang indefinitely, this also has a side effect of slow-release creation when feed search is slow

Reproduction

Created a NuGet feed pointing to the public nuget endpoint Configure a project to use a package from taht feed in a simple Run a Script step (eg Newtonsoft.Json) Separately: Created an Azure FunctionApp which sleeps for a given period of time (eg 5 mins) before returning a 500 server error Change the existing NuGet Feed to point to the FunctionApp instead of real NuGet Trying to Create a Release for the project
