Because the bots are indexing. Go to the bottom of the main page.

Has anyone been able to search yet? I need to search before posting questions.
This is the message i always get-- "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."

No. You'll see the bots are still listed at the bottom of the main page.

Re: search is not working for about a week

its not the bots its prolly a setting that the admin changed like
Search page system load limit:
If the 1 minute system load exceeds this value the search page will go offline, 1.0 equals ~100% utilisation of one processor. This only functions on UNIX based servers.

or the search cache
the bots prolly arent helping if there searching the forum but its not specifically from them
