Is it going to be back?

Mitch-
You've been around way too long to ask such a question without looking at
http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...?s=&forumid=12

See the Announcement from yesterday?

In short, the recompile of the search index has been going on since the wee hours of the morning on a dedicated computer connected to the server. Two ways to do it:
1) Shut down TFL for about 12 hours and dedicate all resources to the task.
2) Keep TFL up and do the update over about 40 hours.

Patience is required.

I looked there before I posted! I didn't see anything about a search function. I figured that was it, but wanted confirmation
