I have re-enabled the search feature after fixing the search table collation issue, it will most likely take 24-48 hours for the entire search indexes to be rebuilt.
Also note that while you can search the site at this time, you will most likely not be returned any recent postings as the rebuild starts from post #1 and works its way up to post # 3.4 million, yes CC has over 3.4 million posts, thats why i stated above the rebuild will take 48-96 hours to complete.
