It happens. When the server is for one reason or another burdened, it will not be able to handle some of its functions, like search. (Pages should still remain basically accessible.)

In particular, just now, a couple of heavily used templates were updated, which puts some strain on the server in checking all the pages it's used on. These sorts of updates are generally kept to the slow hours for the site, however.
