In a situation like this, at least good posts guiding to use other search options should be allowed bypassing some rules temporary. Here's one I tried to post earlier:

I compared the sidebar search with a couple of options. Example links are for the same word search Dyncorp for easy comparison.

Search bar - Simple, the best for the most liked information

searchvoat.co - Great layout, the best for avoiding double posting

DuckDuckGo (site filtered) - The most complete, the best for digging deeper

  • EXAMPLE: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dyncorp+site%3Avoat.co+pizzagate&t=ha&ia=web
  • ORDER: relevance. Option to filter only recent results (day, week, month)
  • INCLUDED: topics, content, comments, part of deleted posts
  • EXCLUDED: the most recent posts might not appear due to irregular visit hours (even days) of duckduckgo robots
  • TIPS: Efficient filter using "-" in front of a word (example: -shill)
  • "MANUAL" https://duck.co/help/results/syntax
  • SPECIAL: DuckDuckGo redirects to searchvoat (above) with !voat bang (try: !voat dyncorp)

The thread I saw on this yesterday I left up for this reason. :-)

I guess one of these could be made sticky for the time the search bar doesn't work. Would you like me to post that as a discussion for that? With a topic like "While we're having problems with the search, here's some options"
