Investments inhibited by lack of standards *IMPORTANT*

I have recently taken an interest in SL to the extent of considering purchasing an island. My issues are mostly in the instability of SL, with the code also contributing to mission critical objects in SL not working correctly thereby making it absolutey NOT COST EFFECTIVE to start a business, and moreover a LIABLITY.

Specifically the SEARCH funtionality in SL. It no longer works alphabetically? I have lost thousands and thousands of foot traffic each day to my listings disappearing or renaming themselves for instance.

Why does search not show my four properties?? They were listed when I used search before the 1.3 patch. Now I cannot find my listings at all, even though the same alphabetical scheme is used.

Please advise

Current issues with Search as related to database slowdowns have resulted in Search Places being at least partially disabled, while we look for a solution. I know how frustrating this can be especially to businesses and apologize for the inconvenience. Keep an eye on the blog for up-to-date info on progress made on restoring search functionality. http://blog.secondlife.com/
