Currently the search function will stay disabled, not permanently though as we simply need it too much. One of the BIG reasons for moving to a new database server is to have a better search functionality so do not think it is being written off. I hate forums without search and generally refuse to use them. Currently though, the search seems to be the thorn in our side as of this morning. (There have been plenty of others for the last week as well.)
We think that MySQL was not playing well with FreeBSD on the new database server under load. We think that we experienced some data corruption, that is why we rolled the server database back 10 days. Moving back to a linux database server with the old database seems to have fixed our issues for now.
We will be moving forward again in the coming weeks with the hardware upgrade, hopefully done in a better manner. Our forced move from the Planet impacted all of this as well then me having to be in Taiwan for a week has slowed our responses.
HardForum seems to be on a better track now. Thanks for your patience. Sorry for the outages, they should have been avoided by us.
