I fully approve of this joke.
But also...
HOT TIPS FOR SEARCHING THE WEB
1. At Google.com, duckduckgo.com, askjeeves.com, or altavista.com, you can use boolean search modifiers. Example:
Everyone at Jolt Country.com wrote:
Retroromper ruined jolt country site:joltcountry.com
RetroRomper "ruined jolt country" site:joltcountry.com
The site:joltcountry.com modifier restricts searches to the given website, while putting a phrase or word in quotes such as "ruined jolt country" searches for that exact phrase as opposed to a partial or related (as defined by the engine of the web search portal you're using) results.
2. ICJ can add a Google Search box that essentially does the above, to the forum by following this method:
https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ I believe it's free (and Google already indexes everything, so why not) and should be easy to implement in phpBB3 as opposed to a 12 year old, end of life for at least a decade, back-end such as phpBB2.
3. ICJ could move phpBB3 to another system such as Xenforo that enables a more streamlined and simple to admin experience
https://xenforo.com/purchase/ A tad pricey as all the options together come to $700, but there ya go.
4. Maybe ICJ could add a phpBB extension such as the Google Search mod?
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... oglesearch
and there are more available at
