Right. I've been suggesting that for a few years ... if I can find my own posts about it. Flat text can take up disk space which is cheap but it's fast and easy to search (low demand on the CPU).

Re: What a screw up. You need a fulltext index to run full-text searches.
You can no longer search for posts which contain key words. Try it - look for common words such as "provider," "hobbyist" or "website." You won't find any listings after 11/30/2021.
You can still search for all posts by the poster's name but you can't search for a specific word that a poster said after 11/30/2021.
It probably isn't a function that anyone will miss since no one seems to have known it is no longer available. Hey, perfectstorm, where you at?!
The board posts are held in a database. Something happened during that week. Something that caused a full-fledged rollback in database and hence many threads fully disappearing (and not just held out of public view like usually).
Since then, whatever measures were implemented, it does look like you cannot search for new posts via search feature. This could because "new" posts aren't indexed, aren't indexed for search (using some api like elasticsearch) or something along these lines.
I've noticed the problem but I didn't know the details and specific dates. I can't even find my own posts anymore! . I hope they fix it soon. Either with a rollback to whatever was working before OR just provide a simple boolean text search of the entire forum dbase.
