I'm pretty sure they disabled the Search button until the board upgrades on August 24th (my birthday no less! Thanks for the present Wizards :D )

As for Kender, they are the Dragonlance world's version of Halflings. The most famous that I know of being Tasslehoff Burrfoot from the first three Dragonlance books.

They are similar to halflings but are generally even MORE mischievous, and silly - always playing pranks on their companions and just generally getting into all sorts of trouble. As far as I remember, they have a racial weapon called a Hoopack, which is like a quarterstaff with a slingshot on one end and a metal spike on the other - overall pretty cool.

In the books at least, Kender can use a racial ability that allows them to taunt other people to well beyond the limits of their sanity, causing them to go into a mad frenzy like a rage. The Kender use this to get back at their enemies, create distractions and generally cause a ruckus.

You'll find a lot of people on these boards who dislike the Kender, especially as PCs, personally I love them :D
