Google search sucks IMO

Doesn't have any of the good search options that the normal search had.

Can't search by forum, can't search by member name, stuck just searching for something generic and hoping you can find it in the mess that Google returns.  

What ever happen to the plan of turning this site into an archive and just starting a new one?

IMO the search feature was pretty good, even if the site would crash from time to time.

Can we have it back please?

If it causes the site to crash, then it clearly cannot come back, unless it's fixed. What good is a search tool if the site's down?

How about it's enabled only at night between 10pm and 8am? Maybe it could survive the less traffic then (or whenever there's less traffic).

Site wasn't crashing everytime someone did a search.

The site was crashing a LOT, and if it's because of the search, and there's a workable alternative, then it's gotta go.

I hope the Google Search ad revenue is going to maaca, and not being kept by Google. I heard it can be substantial. Another reason to use Google Search on the site.

Bring back the search, regardless of crash factor.  Adds to the  "milieu" that is MAACA.  Google sucks  (it harbours "old" stuff)

I wanted to try for at least a week and see if site crashes less.

I know it still did yesterday, so search is not the only issue, big pm files does too.
