Search problem

The archived thread data is being imported into the system gradually, so we don't negatively affect overall system performance. The search index itself has all of the data in it though, which is why it finds the posts in question.

Any iodea when this will be done? Right now this place has taken a major step backwards without a decent search.
Many of us like to read old threads before making a new one, but until we get the search back we'll be littered with new threads of the same old questions...making the issue worse.
I'd much rather you shut the place down for a day and have it work right vs a semi-broke forum for a long period of time...or just give us a final date so we don't read this as an excuse.
Sorry to be a bit gruff, but this is about the 3rd time CF has went through a painfully slow upgrade.

Negatively effect? I guess slow performance, pages not loading, archives not being available is not considered negative.

I say just do it and get it done with. Its been a long time since this has been dysfunctional. I would rather be without the site for a few hours than without search for several more weeks.

Before the update of the system the "search this forum" function used to return results that were newest to oldest. Now it returns results which appear to have no recognizable order. Is anyone else experiencing this, is there a current work around or is the newest to oldest functionality going to return?

That's what I've been doing because it comes closer to giving me the results I'm used to.

not sure if its bug or not, but when you search some of them still show up with blank spot in the replies/views section when they have a bunch of replies to them.
and following one of the links with 0 replies/views leads to
