It took a lot longer than we thought it would, but we're proud to announce that search is now available again on the Bulbagarden forums. In the end, the old search just wasn't able to handle the size of the database anymore, particularly not with increasing search volumes since the launch of GO, and with all the recent news about Sun & Moon. The process of setting up the new search engine required a full rebuild of the search index from scratch. We initially expected that rebuild to take 6-12 hours, but with the addition of conversations (PM) and profile posts (VM) to the search index that blew out to a bit over 24 hours. Sorry about that folks!
Still, at least things should be nice and stable now. Let us know how it goes, how snappy it's working, and if you notice any quirks with the system.
