      I know I am not alone but was wondering how many here will search Mango/ServerXXX/🌶 before Google?

      Has anyone created a search on a personal site that will search all specific forums at once?

        It's strange. I tend to head to Dr. Google for work-related tech problems, and ML for my own stuff.

                I use duckduckgo also. If it's something I know ML people use or talk about I'll usually run a site:mangolassi.it search terms otherwise I just search it normally on duckduckgo

                You can also do site:mangolassi.it site:serverblah.com site:spicewhatevs.com search terms to search multiple sites at once

                I still don't trust the nodebb searching for whatever reason... probably irrational

                  Yeah, that works well.

                    This is what I always do as well. Haven't tried the newest search functionality.

                      We have an internal app with a search box, in addition to some added site: options we also append this to EVERY search:
                      -brothersoft-com -softwarepatch-com -softpedia-com -topshareware-com -freewarefiles-com -fanhow.com -tutcity.com
                      it cleans up the results pretty well.

                        That is pretty sweet. Always looking for ways to clear up search results.

                        Glad I started this thread.

                          I should mention, that because it's a regular HTML input box on our internal app, appending all those ignores is automated. We dont have to type it.
