As described by Spazmodeous:

Seems like either AW's MySQL database is falling apart at the seams, or they don't want to upgrade their database for better connectivity.

Actually, the search on AW site is dog slow at the moment.

My guess is that they just removed the "search_forums" tag from their HTML FORM, so I've made an alternate AW search available in the downloads section.

You can optionally search on the message center, help section, AW Daily, and directory.

I think it works, but like I said, AW search is dog slow at the moment. Let me know if it works for you.

Here is the link to the download module:
AuctionWatch Message Center Search

This doesn't look good, and it came from AW's site....

But I HAVE verified that the message center search works through the download module above.

Search "Message Center" feature still works here:

Some where along the line I forget whre I seen it posted that the message board search has not been done away with , the problem was that dureing one of the site update it was move and not put back where it belong and at some point they will be replacing the link the search.

I think I read this on auction watch after one of there long shut down a few weeks back it was supose to be past of a site update but got over looked..
