NETGEAR appears to have removed "KRACK" from searchable terms
There were a number of threads and posts regarding NETGEAR's handling of the KRACK exploit, and now searching for it comes up with one or zero hits. Is anyone else experiencing this?

"removed", or not yet added? Did searching work before? I know
nothing, but my general impression is that the Netgear site search index
is updated about as frequently as the US census is taken, making it
approximately useless. I've tried searching for some popular keywords,
"Sort By: Date", and gotten a first item dated 2011. In contrast, a
Google search for, say:
site:community.netgear.com krack
finds many things.

Removed; it worked before.
Now searching for "krack," it pulls up a duplicate hit different from the one before, and over a thousand hits without the keyword.

Thanks ElaineM. Now can we get some responses re: KRACK itself then?
