We've released a new update to the IB Search and I've updated IB Search form on Flyertalk to use it. This new update should have nearly all of the features of the old VB search.

The advantage of the new search is in substantially improved performance. For the user that means
* We can index three letter terms (actually we index two and even one letter terms as well)
* No delay between searches.
* We should be able to open search up to unregistered users.
* Searching should have a minimal impact on site performance.

I encourage people to try the IB search and provide feedback.
Thanks,
Kevin
