Can't search AA forum
All of my attempted searches in the AA forum have timed out today (7/7). Anyone else experience the same?
To be sure, I was able to do searches on Marriott and Mileage Run boards with no problem.

I just did a search on AA and it did run a little slow, but eventually returned (I have a T1 connection). It took about 2 full minutes for a search only going back the last 5 days.

I've successfully searched in several forums today, but I can't search the UA forum and haven't been able to for a few days. Search just times out eventually.

Dan,
I guess what I don't understand is how come Search works with lighting speed in the United forum in FlyerTalk Archives where there are 127,000+ posts, but not in the FlyerTalk Miles United forum where there are a lot less.
I certainly hope with more dumps into the Archives planned, that the Search function doesn't stop working over there too. Archives are pretty useless if you can't look things up.

Thanks for the archiving or reindexing or whatever you did. Search working again! And it didn't even take you until 3pm. You guys must be getting pretty good at this stuff! 
Edited to add that I see Archive is down now, so I assume you're still working on it dumping over there.
