Well, will it be fixed? It seriously starts looking disgraceful now.

Don't bump the priority unnecessarily.

And yes, of course it will be fixed

For a start, have you noticed there are site issues currently?

It was waiting on new hardware to be installed, and then you've got to wait for things to catch up

It's not only commons with search problems atm

Wikipedias can navigated by inline links (and also categories and search), but Commons relies primarily on search (and also categories).

Thus Commons might be more impacted by stale search than other wikis.

Yup, and it's not being done purposely to be annoying either

As of a couple of hours ago, there was setup being performed on the new/upgraded search indexer, so hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer before the queue starts to subside

marking fixed, the new boxes are in and slowing updating, the issues/index will slowly self correct over the next few days.

Works again and updates daily (at least the last two days).

Thanks for fixing it.
