What Happens to the Search Update Announcement?
This morning, I noticed the announcement, posted in mid-May, is gone, even though it hasn't been updated.
Giving all the "new" developments of search problems and site performance in the last couple of weeks, are there new plans and schedules as to how the search "improvements" are going to play out?
Any update will be appreciated.

No new news yet, but the plan is still to update the announcement when the next round of modifications are implemented.

Search is now hanging and never completes.
EDIT: And of course this post never showed as actually completing, but the screen simply hung forever.

Is there any update on when the rest of the search problems will be addressed? The forum announcement is almost 3 months old.
I have several FAQ threads that are getting more and more out of date because it is difficult to find the relevant threads to link to.

Issue: "Search this Thread" basic search should default to show as posts, not thread
Resolution: This was a total oversight and will be changed.
Appears to be fixed, as the above thread search was done with "search this thread." -Ed

We seem to be back to the times when nobody is taking the time to keep us updated.

IB, some search updates, please? Or should I use search (key words: search updates), would it help?
ps. If I am tech-savvy enough, I may just write a syntax (or whatever you call it) and have the search update announcement update itself.

When I search by title only, search continues to look at titles of posts within the thread and not at the title of the thread. Thus, threads I have retitled to properly reflect their content will not show up in a search by title.

Deleted Posts Are Still Showing Up in Search Results!
This is an ongoing problem that I don't think has been addressed (by FT/IB) yet: Deleted Posts Are Still Showing Up in Search Results!
Personally, I don't care who can see my deleted posts, but I don't think it's a good thing for us (general membership), that don't need to see them, to have access to these.
This was brought up ages ago, is there some reason that they can't be removed from search results?
