Anyone using the search functionality?

Hope not.  I've had to disable it because it's causing too much load on the DB server.

Root of the problem:  The bit that does the tool-tips for items caches each Warcraft item in the DB.  These entries then become searchable.  Eventually, the site holds quite a few items - around 47,000 items.  Each word in each item's descritpion becomes part of the search index.  So the index table grew to about 1.8 million rows...  and the hosting provider didn't like how long it took to do anything to that table.

So I'll be changing the tool-tips to leverage off Wowhead, and unless someone has an issue, disabling search.
