This forum has been a great resource for me. It would be great if i can  
search the forum before posting any question, as i’m sure someone has  
already posted that question before. The search function has been  
disabled for quite sometime now. I’ve already emailed the administrator  
but haven’t got any response.

any idea on when this would be enabled ?

Thanks,  
VASU.

It would also be nice if the link was removed or dimmed while the  
functionality is disabled.

I keep clicking on “Search” thinking it might be working now.

They are talking about [http://ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com). I know they are using  
ferret for searching but I am not sure why it hasn’t been working.
