Shirley limiting things to one forum should be cutting the search time down though?
e.g.
http://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=crosstop&defaults=true works fine.
http://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=crosstop+forumId:549+sort:date doesn't work.http://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=crosstop%20lever%2031.6+forumId:549+sort:date (increased specificity) doesn't work.
http://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=crosstop%20lever%2031.6+sort:date does work.

This means what it says, the search took too long.
There are over 6 million comments (including private messages), and if your search is across the comments and you've been too vague, it will take too long (longer than 30 seconds).
Make your search more specific.
You can see the effect of specificity on searches that do work:
What are you searching for, and can you make it more specific.
The worst possible search is probably going to be for words like: bike, frame, ride.
I should add... once a search has been done, then it will be much faster in the minutes afterwards. Why? Because then all of the comments that matched a search would be pulled into memory, and subsequent searches will read from RAM and not the SSD... the difference is significant. Hours later, and the comments will have left RAM and the search for non-specific terms will be slower over all comments again.
