It's a lot of work and money to maintain and it's essentially duplicating/splitting the metacpan efforts in term of functionality. I think users are starting to vote with their feet as well so it's just better to do this earlier than later.
I was always grateful for search.cpan until metacpan got out of "beta." At this point search.cpan is just an irritant; being the first link(s) in search results. Personally, I'll be happy to see it out of the mix. I have not used it intentionally in years at this point.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
