How many times does the search bar have to dissappear, be disabled, non functioning... etc etc etc
I do not believe this is a mistake. NOTHING MENTIONED BY MODS. Why?

I did it.
We are currently looking at how much cpu search uses so we are getting a benchmark with the site running without it.
Should be back on tomorrow. Apologies.
Who is PuttItOut?
AN ALTERNATIVE Another option that works super well, created by a Voater: https://searchvoat.co

They were taking it down for day to test things. That was about 4 days ago.

We mods are currently discussing the topic, too. Pretty funny coincidence. And we are NOT happy about that, either, believe me ...

Consider embedding https://searchvoat.co/ on the sticky and/or sidebar.

I think it would be good to make sure the rest of us are aware of that. It has been strangely silent. In this way we know something larger is happening and we dont have to distrust the Mods (as they are important function of this site) If y'all think its compromised then we should discuss openly. Are we all in danger of being on some 'list' somewhere? At what point in the investigation did search bars start going away? What else do you know? Lets hit this hard. Lives on the line. Seriously.

You're already on a list AA - have no fear!

I hope you are using a VPN. Also, thank you for your diligence.

I am not. I am an idiot (and dont really know how to do that). I must also have some kind of deathwish and belief in protection from a higher consciousness. apparently massively deluded into thinking I am safe. LOL.

I suppose, at this point, if what this content suggests is indeed true, we are all already on a list and thusly it doesn't much matter how we proceed with such information. Share on, dear friend.

The search bar first went away "coincidentally" at about the time the anti-protest sticky went up, and it stayed missing during the entire time the protests and their word of mouth and advertising might have been expected to bring in curious newcomers. It was disabled for a great deal longer than the "couple of days" given as an excuse. It was supposedly disabled to "test" the load on the website without it for one day, that turned into 4, a week, longer... There was never a formal annoucement made, maybe finally a comment when people noticed and complained. Never a courtesy notice for days and day after it was supposed to return. It was restored about two days after the second protest, a day or so after the anti-protest sticky was finally removed and morale and numbers were at a low point.
You can yell and make a fuss all you want but you won't get kind consideration for your position, much acknowledgement, and even less action.

Agree 300 %. As said, we are working on something.
