Citizen Orange Server Trouble: Search Box Disabled

I apologize to those of you who were trying to access Citizen Orange last night or this morning.  We were shut down down because our mt-search.cgi script was "causing a heavy load on the server."  I think it's because spam bots were constantly using the search form. 

The only way I was able to get Citizen Orange back online was by disabling the search form.  I'll have to leave it like that until I can figure something else out.
