This is an entertaining error message

I know that poking fun at Lotusphere On-Line is a bit like taking candy from a baby, but nonetheless...

In the Lotusphere On-Line discussion area, there is a Search box, which I know that on most systems would mean you were able to search, but (see my first sentence).  I think they are using Quickr, so this may be a buzzword overload issue, but the error message is:

Database not indexed.  Try again.

Isn't the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over hoping for different results?  

There may be some error messages for which "Try Again" is a reasonable solution, but searching and searching a database which is not full text indexed certainly isn't.
