No, Google works perfectly fine.

So in other words, yes.
You also have to watch out for misleading thread titles, and being an arrogant bastard around here.
Most people don't take kindly to either or.
site:facepunch.com (What you are searching for)
put that into Google and you can search money free.

And I don't take kindly to obvious rackets. There's one less website that will be cluttering my browser history...

I think it's Garry who's being an arrogant bastard by expecting us to pay to use the forum search function. Like any of us are stupid enough to give that greedy douchebag money for that when we can just use google instead
I dunno, maybe I'm crazy, but one would think that, you know, buying a game for actual money would entitle one to that sort of thing. That's only the way it works, you know, everywhere else.
Maybe I'm just too rational.

I don't think that's the case...The reason search is disabled is because it constantly bogs down the servers. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I do know that was the case in the past; and we also disabled registration for a while too until things got sorted out.
It's just as easy to type Facepunch: "WHATEVER YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR" in google, and often times it's more effective.

That's not the case at all. It's that search got disabled to reduce the weight on the servers. They then turned it on for gold members only, because there are less gold members than the total amount of members, which is kinda obvious. They just left it like that because you can still use google to search FP.

It first got disabled back when we were getting ddos'd by some former facepuncher, but for the same reason though. At the time I thought it'd be straight back after the attacks stopped

It seems to me that you're more looking for reasons to bitch than anything else. You have an effective, if not better alternative means to searching up content.

Search has always done a number on the servers; especially when Garry was hosting them from the office (I don't know if he still does)
Either way, Garry could disable search for everyone and I don't think anyone would really give a fuck; Google works just as good; and even better, you don't have to wait 20 seconds to perform another search.
I have a feeling Something Awful will give him a heart attack.

No, in other words google works perfectly fine.
