QuestionSearch facility here is not working properly

    Is anyone else finding this?  I just posted a question about the Windows Live Toolbar Elevation Helper not working having done a search first, but then subsequently discovered that a similar question had in fact just been asked. (I searched and posted my question from a different part of the Answers website which is why I did not see the previous post btw).  The post I'm referring to is
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wlevents/thread/be817522-a66b-4842-9625-4f737981361d

    So what is the point in having a Search facility that does not work??!!??  I typed "Elevation Helper" in the Forum search as well as the Answers search but to no avail.  Is this totally useless or have I missed something ??

    Yes, we've discovered that for questions very recently asked, it takes longer than we would like for our search aggregators to pick up the new entry and display it during search.
    We are in the process of making changes to help resolve this issue, and you should see marked improvement by the end of the month.
    thanks.
