The missing search engine is an obvious sabotage (Conspiracy)
submitted 7.3 years ago by Conspirologist
The Voat's owner says that the main search engine doesn't work and it's hard to fix.
The secondary search engine is working perfectly: https://voat.co/discover/subverse/search/top
As you can clearly see, the alleged broken search is obvious bullshit to make people leave Voat.

He removed a number of features when voat was under ddos attack. Including the ability to see comments without being logged in.
Another feature which was temporarily removed was automated title generation.
If you look at the missing features, they were all things which had the ability to stress the voat backend.
I can imagine that search could be easily used to cripple the database by sending it automated queries.

It's also one of the more difficult features to secure.

It's harder to implement a search engine for comment or post data than it is for subverses.
Not only is there more content but the content is constantly being added.
