Here's something else that maybe is related:
When I make a post to any forum, when I get to the confirmation page:
It just hangs there for about a minute. The the ad banner shows up displaying:
...and then it finally redirects me to the thread.
So maybe there is some problem with the ads that are causing the problem? That they are "holding up" the action somehow?

You are not the only one. I have not been able to use the search in United for about 4 weeks.

Has always worked fine for me and I use it almost every day. (Shame the 200 folks recently starting new threads asking "Are my mies safe?", "what happans to my award tickets?" and "is UA in trouble?" did not also try using "Search" a little more. 
I just now typed in "marylou" as the search object word and found:
Topic - Name - Date - Forum/Archive
Will Wal-Mart Honor My Ticket If United Vegetates 03-19-2003 United
future of RCC? 03-21-2003 United
If UA is Liquidated,what happens to Award tickets on others 03-27-2003 United

it, right now, worked for me, but took (with my very fast cable connection) over a minute to get search results.
I made two different searches, both just searching back one day.

UPDATE: Our ad rep tells me that their tech people are looking into the error.
