Not directly what you asked for, but
here is a link to a thread there in which
johnatwebflyer talks about trying to improve FT performance.
Chasing some of the interesting links in that thread reveals some useful information, specifically
http://web1.flyertalk.com/vbtest/info.php

If one reads the version information it appears that FT is running an April 1 build of PHP v 4.3.11. (It was released the day before on Mar 31.) My understanding is that 4.3.11 fixes the unserialize() bug in 4.3.10 that degraded performance so badly.
So one can only presume that the FT tech staff is currently testing the new PHP 4.3.11 and will be shortly announcing the resumption of search capability. We can hope!
