I'd search to see if anyone else has posted this, but well,
There's also no link to the search function (I had to type the url in), but that might be related.

Re: Unable to search
Yeah, see this thread for semi-explanation. Hopefully it's being fixed.

Re: Unable to search
I scanned that thread, but couldn't see anything about actual search, only egosearch, which isn't the same thing.

Re: Unable to search
All things relating to search are broken because the index isn't rebuilt (or whatever the deal is). So all of the features that rely on search - egosearch, view new posts, view unread posts, etc - are unavailable.

That's a thing that happens when you scan: you can miss some information.
There hasn't been any more information from davean (et al.(?)) about it.

Viewing unread posts was working fine after the migration (until it was turned off, of course). As for other searches, I think chridd has a good overview of the symptoms and possible causes they had. Most likely the decision was made to disable all search features until all the aspects are fixed.
