Don't worry, it's nothing too fancy!

Over the next few days we'll be doing some upgrades to our server setup. Because we're such a large site, we run an add-on called Enhanced Search that allows our database to be searched far more efficiently than the standard site search. Those who were on the site before we had Enhanced Search will well remember how searching was near impossible, so we're glad to have this addition! This server maintenance will free up some of the resources used by Enhanced Search (it's a rather intensive add-on) by running it on its own dedicated server. We've noticed the site does get sluggish during the late night / early morning. Hopefully this maintenance will alleviate some of those issues.

So what does this mean for you guys? Very little! Following said maintenance, the site search will function the same as before, and you should expect little to no interruption to the site during this time. If anything, the search might be out of commission for a little while.

Just wanted to warn you all in advance. Thanks everyone!
