Search on ports.macports.org not returning any results

[grey]

I am only just getting back to some physical keyboards after Ombra
Festival earlier this month, but it still seems to be going on, at
least for me?

I thought maybe it would be an excuse to try out
https://macports-new.arjunsalyan.com/ (as leery as I am of any
so-called A"I" agent assisted code; to quote an old "joke" in the
SPICE world: 'never trust the autorouter!' [insert comedically heinous
image of logic traces here] ;) but it similarly doesn't seem to be
returning any results; so maybe both sites are attempting to pull data
from something out of service?

e.g. https://macports-new.arjunsalyan.com/port/snac functions, but
searching for "snac" does not return any results:
https://macports-new.arjunsalyan.com/ports?q=snac

Similarly, https://ports.macports.org/port/snac functions but
searching for "snac"? No results:
https://ports.macports.org/search/?q=snac&name=on

It seems as if searching based on maintainer is also currently not
returning results, e.g.
https://ports.macports.org/search/?selected_facets=maintainers_exact:artkiver

Though, at least in that instance the new test site seems to fare a
bit better, e.g.
https://macports-new.arjunsalyan.com/ports?maintainer=artkiver

Anyway, it seems as if folks were already aware of the outage but I
would have thought perhaps it would have been resolved by now?

Regardless, I hope everyone is doing well over the holidays!
