When are you going to put the search function back?

It doesn't have to be a performance issue if you implement FULLTEXT search correctly. You can configure the minimum word size to 3 characters and tweak the stopwords list.
Searching via the database is much the best way.

I'm doing my head in trying to find something with this crappy Google search for half an hour and I just can't, I'm pretty close to loosing it.

I agree I was very dependent on WP's search engine.

It want allow keyword search. Though I just played with some other features I never used before to help find a post.

Must predate me. I remember being really
bothered by how search works here, but
have gotten used to it.

Ah! I see the problem. At the very least,
'twould make sense to enable it for the
moderators, I think. I know that it came
in tremendously handy, in researching
someone's posts.
