The forum search tool had to be de-indexed (essentially disabled) a long time ago, due to problems with server crashing. Yes, it's permanent, at least for the foreseeable future.

Many members have found our Google search tool to be helpful. Click "Search" on the toolbar above, then select "Advanced Search". Or .. click here. The Google search box is right there at the top. Make sure forum.lowcarber.org is selected to limit results to this forum only.

Hope this helps
