How long would it take for the servers to get back on their feet and for search results to return to normal?

Noone except the admins of the servers which are down will be able to answer you this. Maybe some days, maybe never, maybe new servers are set up by someone else, maybe not.
The best method however is to try to use eMules network redunancy and get Kad running. There is no reason why it should not work with any ISP and imho only very few routers are still too badly constructed to handle multiple UDP "connections" these days. The chance that Kad is down and no servers available is a lot smaller than if trusting in only one of the networks.

Problem is not software, but server operators, and lazy emule users.

Like to respond, I am emule user.
I stumbled on this message by accident.
I am ignorant on the server technology and what it means for me as a user.
But if antip2p companies success can have a counterattack by changing my (read all users ) behavior.
please give it some taught what you stil can do if you assume that lazy perhaps means ignorant.
What means that there can a way out if there is a ingenious method by using the emule client message system itself to inform me (read alle users) what I should to save the network sharing idea.

Check out my new eServer - ed2k://|server|78.159.112.155|3712|/
Its a low capacity because it is a part-timer, sharing with 3 eMule clients (to make sure everything gets shared on KAD), a frostwire client (Gnutella1/ultrapeer), a shareaza (Gnutella2/Hub) client, and a deluge (BitTorrent) client.
The bandwidth is unmetered and there is 8GB of RAM so the server should do just fine.

Already got 3500 users on it and it is only using 68MB of RAM
The server filters out porn and terrorist / faces of death type of stuff but everything else is indexed.

Thanks for this post - it helped out a lot:

Make sure you do not alter history when traveling back in time.

Filter porn, not indexing files that contains that word in the name is easy, but how do you filter terrorist/faces of death, without having the files?

Cheers

Just by the filename. Not 100% effective, not free of false positives, but better than nothing (espcially since I only put in 20 or so filters)

Only ten days later - not ping on IP, no connect on port 3712

90% of online servers are fake servers, payed by antip2p companies to push fakes, and viruses that are able to use contaminated PC to send DDOS attacks to 'genuine servers'

You cannot fight against them, really.

You cannot find enough Gigabit links able to receive more than xx millions packets per second on one machine.

Forget about servers and use Kad.

But the premise is wrong: the existence of such an anti-P2P war where maliciously operated eserver machines are used as a tool to pollute the network, is orthogonal to the debate on the merit of open-sourcing the eserver code. This is so because eserver can be used for tasks which would not be a matter of interest to RIAA/BREIN/SGAE; but if we don't have eserver, we cannot use it for those other projects. Therefore the net result is that we just loose a really advanced P2P tool.

If you had said that releasing eserver's source code would jeopardize the ed2k network as it is now, I would understand not releasing it.

If you had said that it is your code and therefore your work, and that you just don't want to give it away for free, I would understand too.

But the reason stated for not opensourcing eserver, i.e. your declaration of defeat for server software in the P2P wars, I just cannot make sense of (whether such alleged "defeat" has happened or not).

Now the website still not available.
