Search function broken

I load the site and click on the "Your Posts", "New Posts," and "Unread Posts" buttons, and they all tell me, "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. The server has high load. Please try again later."

This makes it very difficult to see the posts that have the most recent activity.

Yeah, that sometimes happens. The site sometimes has high traffic load and the search functionality is throttled during that time.

Search was working briefly after the server migration, then stopped again. It hasn't been available for a little over a week, now.
Sorry, search could not be performed. More information about this failure has been logged in the error log.
Is this a known issue?

It appears that new posts since the server migration are not being properly indexed, since they don't come up in the search. If I go to view my posts, for example, the most recent one there is from August 14, even though I've posted several since then.

Thanks for reporting. Should be fixed now.
