SearchVoat.co is an independent website not associated with Voat, Inc.

• SearchVoat.co is not going to shut down in the foreseeable future.

• SearchVoat.co already has a complete* backup of Voat's submissions and comments. This data does not generally include up/downvotes.

• You can retrieve a copy of a Voat submission, including comments, by replacing voat.co in the submission URL with searchvoat.co. For example, this post is at https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146 and you can retrieve a backup at https://searchvoat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146.

• You can choose to download results from SearchVoat.co in CSV or JSON format, by selecting those options when you do a search. These downloads include up to 240 posts, but you cannot specify a page number, so narrow your search if you want more than 240 posts at a time. (EDIT: Just noticed that this only works for submissions, not comments. Will add this facility for comments soon.)

• I will add a shortcut to the SearchVoat.co front page to one or more Voat post mortem discussion forums TBA. Suggestions please.

• If you want to delete your posts from SearchVoat, make sure you delete them from Voat before Voat shuts down then go to SearchVoat and hit edit/delete.

• EDIT: I am sending unique individual passwords to Voat users by DM so they can prove who they used to be on Voat. See here: https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170476
