It was disabled because the sheer size of the tables necessary for searching the site was completly crippling the performance of the site overall. Tim has been busy with real life projects, so he doesn't have a time frame to give us on it. Gotcha. Would archiving old posts, say 2 years or older, and getting them off the server help in making the search function, functional again? Some have been archived, and for a while the search function was turned back on for Premium members, but the site problems re-occurred. So it's back to the drawing board.
