For the past couple months, the forum search feature has not been reliable at finding any particular results. As an example, if you try searching this forum for threads with the word "inbox", you get two results: one and two. Notably, it does not find this much more recent topic, and if you set the search to find only results more recent than 6/1/2014, it comes up with nothing at all.
Search worked fine before, so I don't know what kind of update could have broken it, but I know wizards.com board search already operates on a grossly incomplete index, and the last thing we need is other sites following in their lide and deciding that a pure loss of existing function, with no replacement or recourse, is at all a satisfactory state of affairs.

Search is not in any way deprecated or forgotten.
It is, absolutely, something that they will fix.
It's just a rather large task, so we have to be a little more patient than usual.
Apologies for the issues until then.
No longer staff here.
