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?

The Search feature in the community is currently not working and the team is fixing it. However, issue can still be searched in Google.

   "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?
