Searching by title is finnicky (& threadloom search disabled?)

[Vajra]

Personally I liked the threadloom search frontend more since it's more compact than the xenforo option. But even if you choose threadloom, it's the xenforo frontend.
I also found searching by title might be weird? I tried searching for "MSM" in the title and it returned no results despite threads of course existing e.g. MSM + TAURINE very restorative for hair health (I think!). Maybe that's just a quirk for the characters "MSM" or something? But I've done so before at least on the threadloom frontend and it worked, as you would expect.

This needs fixing. From my pov, search is broken right now.

Threadloom was bought out and the company that purchased them shut down the search function. I have implemented Google search while I work on a better solution.

Thanks Charlie. That’s unfortunate about Threadloom.

Indeed. No worries though, I will get it sorted out.

I have installed a new search engine and have indexed the entire forum. Go ahead and give it a whirl.

@charlie it seems to work great, and it even gives dropdown suggestions as you type. Nice!

Thanks, Charlie, I thought I had done something wrong when the searches weren't working as usual.

This is absolute magic compared to previous searches!!! I just got 30+ more results on something I've searched repeatedly in the last 3 months, all threads I had never seen before. Thanks heaps for the upgrade!!

Is there any way to contribute to the site, @charlie ? I have gotten some life saving info here from a number of people, and would love to help as I can. Had a (very brief) look but nothing jumped out at me.
