Bookmark the Custom Search Engine. Anyway, I support, because it would help the dupe finders find dupes. I vaguely remember this being a thing, but I don't remember if it worked before it was removed.

Please state why you support.

I accidently made a duplicate of this because of the lack of this feature!

That wasn't me; that was past me. I promise I'm less cringeworthy today (but still pretty cringeworthy, clearly, since I'm seriously editing this post right now).

Support! This shouldn't be too hard since Djangobb has its own search engine! This would be really useful for searching dupes.

Duplicate.
This is a duplicate.
And another one.

Sigton

The first one is closed and the second one has less post than this one, I suggest that it gets merged

SILLY MAN MADE A SILLY. YOU ARE TO LAUGH AT THE SILLY. YOU ARE NOT TO QUESTION THE SILLY.

*4 months later* I see. Well, I managed to laugh at the silly before even sort of comprehending what you said.. I have never, however, had any intention of questioning it.

Hmm… needs more strikethrough tags

You could just use the extremely easy to remember site:scratch.mit.edu/discuss/ [insert keywords here] on Google itself :P

Now for my opinion. You could use any of the searches on the sticky, true, but a built-in search in Scratch could have extra filters that you can't currently have. For example:

Forum filtering (though this could solve that)
Closed topic filtering
Original Poster + Other Posters Filtering
Post Count Filtering
etc.

But I kind of like using Google… so I'm not picking a side.

Bump - the two topics this was merged with:

Support! Why was this even removed in the first place?

That's a bad reason to support because this suggestion is for something official, something in the forums itself.

Support! This would make it much easier to find dupes.

please don't no support a good suggestion just because someone made a site that already does it.

the fact that i had to make ocular, should show why the scratch team adding this could be very beneficial
