I'm not the final word by a long shot, but I'd say the chances are slim and none, and slim ain't looking real healthy, if you know what I mean.

For all of its good points, the original search was creating too many problems for the performance of the site as a whole. Again, I'm not the final word, but to the best of my knowledge we reached a point where keeping the original search online would essentially lead to more system timeouts, unless and until the traffic dropped to a point where the original search could once again handle the load.

That, obviously, isn't a workable solution.

Having said all of that, it should be stressed that the new search is still a work in progress and we sincerely hope it will ultimately prove at least as useful if not more so than the original search. I realize that's difficult to envision at this point, but that's the goal.
