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.

Interesting. I will normally hit Google if it is a general subject but here if it is specific.

Duckduckgo > Google

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 duckduckgoYou can also do
site:mangolassi.it site:serverblah.com site:spicewhatevs.com search terms
to search multiple sites at onceI still don't trust the nodebb searching for whatever reason... probably irrational

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. -

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.
