Why not put a link up to a google custom search then?
People keep posting about the search not working in threads that have already been dealt with. Originally before moving over to a new server, they updated the search software (which this thread is originally about) and it was working fine.
The purpose of the search not working now is that it is possibly in the midst of indexing the whole site after the move to a new server. Please understand it takes time and being impatient about it doesn't exactly help it work faster or pestering the board with repeated post about "SEARCH NOT WORKING!" when all we need to do is read the announcements.
It's called technology. You just don't turn on a computer and expect it to be ready to go as soon as you press the power button do you? No, so like turning on a computer, information has to be collected and partitioned by the server in order for it to function properly. There are behind the scenes stuff that makes this site work beside a bit of code and internet connection speed.
Give the site time to do what it needs to do. This will sort itself out. Even when it does come back to being functional expect a few hiccups and bugs to pop up occasionally. While we wait for search to do its thing why don't we read a book, engage in a few contest and earn some WRZ$?
