In the other thread Jessica said this yesterday:
"we are currently trying to fix the "Search" function, which got damaged when we experienced that complete server meltdown last year. In order to fix it, we have to re-index anything, and that activity was slowing down the SQL server and causing the forums to time out. So, we have suspended the indexing for now; we'll start it up again around 11 p.m. and have it run through the night."
