Thanks Randy for explaining the reason why the search function problem hasn't yet been fixed. Too bad this couldn't have been explained earlier, and in the proper forum. I don't believe many people would think of looking here to learn that one of the technicians is out sick.
Concerning the confusion about the relationship between the search problem and the elections, Tim at WebFlyer said that the site won't be taken down for maintenance while the elections were still in progress. Thus the name of this thread.
Finally, to the OP, shame on you for not knowing about the elections, nor what they were for. I'm just amazed that weren't aware of them. Your vote could have avoided a 3 way run-off, from Nov. 2-9.
