Searching not working on bitcointalk.org

This should be at the meta section. The searching function was turned off a few days ago after downtime (due to failed RAID harddrives) for theymos to regenerate the search index. Use google to search instead.
Code:
(insert keyword here) site:bitcointalk.org

@ranochigo : Please remove '/code]' from your post.

Also:

If you use a common keyword when searching, you may get many results. So filter the results by going to advanced tools and set dates.
Yes, you can use others as well, some examples would be:
Code: (Example)
 inurl:
 intitle:

Atlast! :D

Searching is enabled again now. I also made several improvements to search. It should be substantially faster now, and maybe also more accurate. (SMF was extremely buggy in this area -- it's surprising that search was even usable before.)
