I was wondering why my RSS feeds for search went dark - this could drive me away. It makes it a less useful platform to me.

Btw, I should have said this in the post, but in no way am I saying that search is as important as Track (or discovery as I like to conceptualize it).

Discovery trumps search.

I just find it unfortunate that in order to find stability (or solvency?), Twitter has to continually disengage useful parts of the platform.

I can't help but think that search was taken off to lighten the server load in time for tomorrow's election result tweet-storm.

Same here but I know lots of the people I'm turning on to the service do. I hate it for them.

As you said... Lame.

Lame, however, I never use search for people anyway.

I noticed this a week or so ago. It was disheartening to not be able to search. I've used it pretty effectively for a few of my accounts. But I guess with all things, if we can use it someone can abuse it.
