"Seach" Missing

[Altiris]

this is getting out of hand. everyone dumb kid can now go out and "ddos" people. its not even a rare thing anymore, and it works incredibly well. when will this lame stuff be patched? when will internet 2.0 come out? do the developers not care about their users?

DDOSing is illegal (incase not all of us know), so I don't understand why SoftLayer/Badspt can't get the Police to investigate the attacks (it's an actual crime just like any other). If the "kids" aren't stupid they are most likely behind a Proxy server but I read somewhere even from there it's possible to trace them back. I'm suprised too how DDOSing can be done so easily, it's been happening to Youtuber's and people who livestream using twitch (how they find their IP idk).

Since the search button is gone for now, I whipped this tutorial up:

crimes are held at different levels. if i post a picture of 3 pirated movies on my desktop and tell you i am behind a proxy, how would you go about getting charges pressed against me? i'd love to hear exactly how that goes over.

I will truly miss Seach. It's a shame that he was never found.

If they were smart they'd be using Tor to ddos. It isn't particularly hard for law enforcement to trace somebody who is using a proxy.

Tor? I'd love to see that happen.

But google is less accurate, and keeps track of your search history

Both of those are problems inherent in the original search form.

I'd say Google is far more accurate because it can actually search for individual words instead of characters within messages. Also Google doesn't cancel my search result if I put 'the' or 'and' in a topic subject search.

Never forget.

I disabled it because it slows the forum down to a crawl.  I have tried tons of things with the database but I just can't get it to work reliably.  There are other search solutions like sphinx that I might look into but I can't put anymore effort into this right now.

If you need to find something, google will usually get you there.  The forum is well indexed.  

Possibly Google Custom Search?
