Hey there everyone!
A new version of the forum software we use here on UM.com has been released in BETA format (early version) and we will be testing out the code and looking to implement it here on the forums. Normally we wouldn't jump in and install such an early version of the software but we miss the search function as much as you all do! This new version has some new features, one of which is a change to the search function that is meant for helping to search on larger forums. So, hopefully this will solve the issues we have here with "search". There's also some other cool features which we will make a post about once we have the update installed.
The reason we're announcing it like this is there *may* be a few growing pains once we change over to the new version so if you notice something isn't working like it used to, don't worry, it is only very temporary (For example one feature that may be temporarily missing is the "Now playing" option).
