Search service appears down

In the case of a search service disruption the status updates will be shown here.

05 Jun 26: There was an attempt to release v7.8.1 with change in search service protocol, but I noticed something is maybe wrong with the server management version (derivative of UE) and reverted all back out of abundance of caution, it was available for at most 20 minutes. If you downloaded it during the short time period (after trying to use the search service since I didn't set the update notification) downgrade to v7.8 since there is no clear UE notification when the search protocol has been possibly downgraded (which will be now added, since I didn't foresee such scenario, it will be something positive to come out of this). It might be very few users in single digits who are affected. The message will be removed after I sort it out and make the release now maybe as v7.8.2.

I'm restarting it.

Hard drives were mounted on new server, it was shut down and restarted. It triggered alarm, I thought it was no connection on my end, since almost everything runs on this server now.

I'll add the instances to startup menu.

Also search service will run on limited retention on Tuesday until Wednesday, as the server is relocated and another new server was accidentally damaged and I won't be able to engage it in time as planned, I hope it will run in a week, then the search should become faster as well.

This downtime though was unexpected.
