Since the search box was removed, with no explanation...let's post our best suggestions on how to search the pizzagate forum now. When threads were pulled for mentioning the absent search box, I was told "Mods have no control over sitewide functionality.This is a Voat thing"
Being able to search is vital to the continuing investigation. And since the homepage no longer offers that option, how about a thread that suggests good ways to search this forum. An earlier suggestion was this one (credit to anonOpenPress) :
A useful search engine https://searchvoat.co/index.php?t=epstein&s=pizzagate&u=&d=&b=onll
Also, can anyone (hopefully a mod) explain WHY the search box has been removed from all of VOAT. Are there plans to restore the function? If so, when?

Use a search engine and add site:voat.co/v/pizzagate to your search term . If you want to search by thread topic add intitle: to the search term. There's many search operators you can use to help you find what you're looking for.
As to why perhaps people were abusing the search function maybe in an attempt to ddos or just waste bandwidth. idk maybe it was vulnerable to sql injection and they're trying to make it more secure

Was gonna say this. It's known as "X-ray search" colloquially :)
