Title: Silk Road search engine does not work.

Silk Road search engine does not work.
I do not  know, maybe someone had mentioned about it before, but when you put any phrase in the  SR search engine you get this:

Search is temporarily disabled. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was literally just about to post the same thread lol.

There's an item I really need to find on SR but I haven't been able to find it due to the search not working.

When will the search feature be enabled again?

I have noticed that it hasn't worked since yesterday, but it might be even longer....

Usually when something says it's disabled, I just assume the developer knows that it isn't working... but this is seriously debilitating -- there's now no real way to get a link to a user unless you already know the user's ID (which you only have access to if you've favorited the user, or they happen to have a listing you browse to manually).  And if they aren't a vendor or their listings aren't up, forget about contacting them unless you've gotten a message from them in the past and can get the link to them that way.

Are we supposed to send a bitcoin to the person just so we can get access to their page from the account history list?  (I credit renton with that unacceptably expensive but clever idea)

Frankly, it's a super irritating thing and I think it would be super cool of somebody to re-enable this really quickly (hint, hint).

I let DPR know about this issue yesterday afternoon, so I'm hoping they're already aware of how constricting this is.
