VM: Don't try to reindex! You'll end in a non working search server

If you actually try to execute the command
bin/reindex
you will get this error:
Exception in thread "main" org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column w.language does not exist

Unfortunately, as a result you don’t have any search indexes anymore because this script deletes the “old” indexes before it create new ones (which fails).

Have you tried with the latest indexer downloaded from
http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/search/

Using the latest version of the indexer search-indexer-ee60311.jar will successfully build the indexes.
You should also download the latest war file, rename it to ROOT.war and place it in the tomcat folder and restart tomcat.
