Search is slow and shows few or no results

Lately, the search function hasn't been working well. It's very slow, both to bring up search suggestions and when loading search results. It also frequently shows few or no results, and the results it shows often don't include what I searched for. For example, searching for a monster often doesn't include any results, and when it does it usually doesn't include the actual monster pages, but instead just references to the 2014 sourcebooks containing the monster. I've run into this problem on multiple different computers and browsers, and the rest of the site functionality is fine, so it's not an internet connection issue.

 This is a known issue.

It's not a "Snap their fingers & it's fixed"-tier of easy, either.
