Repeat what?

In years to come this will be a contradiction that I will no longer be able to catch you in.

The "search" (as it was) could be used to target the site and absolutely crush site performance. This actually happened unexpectedly last week (see site announcements), so once it was identified, it either had to be removed, or reduced in scope, until a replacement was introduced without the above issue.

I know it is inconvenient, but the number of people effected by this (very few) relative to those impacted by site performance (everyone) makes it justifiable.

They haven't gone anywhere. You can page through the history right now if you need reassurance.

I see thanks for the update; I didn’t realise that the site was so vulnerable.
