Why can't I use the search feature?

When I try to search in the Trades and Transactions (haven't tried other boards), it says you don't have permission to search. Does anyone know why that is?

Yes. The feature has been disabled for the rush of the FA period, to help ease the burden on the servers. It's not just you in particular.

The search feature hasn't been active for years. It's not just because the FA period.

No, that isn't true, There are portions of the search function which have been active on and off, depending on time and admin activity.

Well, it is for me. Maybe I'm just trying to use it at the wrong times but I haven't been able to use the search function for years.

Well, how long will Search be disabled? Is there a target date for its return?

I'll let everyone know. It should be back soon though.
