That's Wikia's doing. They've been down at least twice today all around. They might have been doing maintenance at those times. I know it can get a bit annoying having the wiki stop working, especially when you are in the middle of submitting an edit. Seems to be back to normal, at least until they do another maintenance.

As for the drop down not appearing anymore in search, I've also noticed this new issue. If you go to "My Preferences" (under your username), then click the tab that says "Under the Hood", scroll down to "Advanced display options" and put a check mark in the box that says "Enable Go-Search" and Save. That solved the problem for me and for Deyvid who was also having the same problem.
