Searching on Hacks?

Is there a way to turn on content searching on our dreamhacks? I'm trying to test Bug 1847, and I'm getting the "Sorry, content searching is not configured on this server." error. Is there a way for me to configure this?

If not! Should I upload the patch that I think might possibly work as something for someone else to work off of if they want to do the bug, or to be reviewed, or just let it lie?

Yes, this too!

We've accepted patches like this before -- what you can do in this case is to:
* upload with the review? flag (to indicate it needs someone to look at it), but no commit? flag (to indicate it's not been tested fully, so that the reviewer can see at a glance that this patch needs some additional attention)
* leave a comment stating exactly what you've said in this post

And someone with things set up can apply it and check it, etc.

Basically it's not a problem, so long as we know how much testing the patch has actually received and any known or potential issues.
