This thread does not seem to be searchable. The word "wagon" appears on the first page. Try searching for it ... no results. Pick any other word ... no results. If you do find a word that produces results, let me know! Searching by author also fails.
My best guess is it's because of the colon in the thread title but, really, I've got no other clue.
Edit: Looks like indexing has stopped since late aprill?
No: people who play PBP a lot, regularly search Private threads.
Pretty sure it's a bug. Search is pretty unreliable most of the time (I suspect the internal tagging it uses confuses the search), so I'd guess it's the unusual title.
I just checked through threads, and I believe the problem is that the search tool hasn't been updated with more recent posts in some time; probably something automatic that stopped working. If you search in other threads in this Bugs forum, any threads that were created since at least May 2022 don't have any search results.

April 29 or 30 seems to be when the forums were last indexed. I suggest you change your thread title to say "recent threads not searchable" or something.

My guess would be that the search feature does not work on threads marked Private.

Actually it's broader: try searching this thread for 'thread', 'people' or 'guess'.
Why not test by editing this thread's title to have a [space]:[space] in it? Then if this thread becomes unsearchable, we'll know that's the problem.
Edit: Oh, I see, this current thread is unsearchable.

Done.
I’ve passed this along to the team. Thank you!
I’ve just received word that forum search should now be fixed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Looks like it's working so far, it even returned a 1-minute old thread as a search result.
