Another bug that will stay open forever. Why? Search is infamous for being and staying broken. Happened with the codex for a long time, when the WP.org site was redesigned it stayed broken for a few months. My bet is that bug remains open until about February.

Fixed and closed in a little less time than forever.
In seriousness, I really appreciate your sober views on previous and current challenges.
Thanks for your significant role in making WordPress what it is,
