Searching for sarcasm

The entire internal website is unsearchable today, an issue I raise with the IT department. They thoughtfully ponder "I wonder how many employees will be using search today?" and conclude: "Probably just the librarians..."

Although it was delivered deadpan, I am fairly certain there is sarcasm in there somewhere as only 10 of over a thousand employees are librarians, but those 10 are very vocal when the search does not work as expected.

And maybe a tiny bit of sarcasm because my background is library...
