gem1001 just commented on EXACT SAME studio as the other search engine to show off their own: https://forumfind.evof.cc/. This time, to make sure that is safe enough to be added, I passed it through Virustotal, which if you don't know, is a Google-owned website that lets you scan stuff across over a lotta antivirus engines at the same time to check for malware. Turns out, only ONE out of 92 antiviruses said its malicious, meaning that flagging is probably just false positive which means that its probably safe to use.

icyw, I also checked the other search engine and it gave ZERO out of 92 said its malicious (See results there: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/848d2b71387a0d79e22f2208b4c4b33d71e7ebc88bcf4179cb5e77ba2e8f5f69?nocache=1), which means its actually MORE safe than gem1001's version. If that isn't an excuse to add it, idk what is

Because I had tested it and it was, in fact, not broken. :p

Sorry guys for current inactivity, the school year just started and I'm now working on college applications. Wish me luck

When did you test it then

The search bar method? Like a couple days ago.. it's still working. The custom search though, as I stated previously, isn't yet fixed. I've started looking into how long it'll be down and perhaps removing it from the sticky.

We have a fairly simple solution to that issue in the OP.

yay. an awful custom search and a sticky that hasn't been updated in a year

I personally find the custom search quite helpful, and the sticky was just updated at the beginning of the month..

No we're talking about the custom search (the person who made it said that his computer battery completely died and it's unlikely that it will go back up)

Sorta replacement (though can't find individual posts, still useful though)

Yea im just saying it doesn't find individual posts like scratchpost and ocular did, though maybe someone else can do it if it's not being added to that one

to change a single link. to the new tolors

all the unsorted topics are still unsorted

UPDATE, I've removed @redspacecat's custom search from the topic. While it was very helpful while it lasted, it looks as if it'll probably be down for a while. If anyone has an alternative, please let me know. Thanks.

You could add either (or both) of these 2 websites (NOTE: This time, I checked these sites to make sure they're safe. More on that in the quote below)

Although, if you're gonna add ForumFind, add a note saying that the site can only search topics, not individual posts.

I'm not familiar. Can you link or explain this in more detail?

Last time I got Paddle's input he claimed the website was unsafe (according to sources I don't know off the top of my head). I'll report again and follow up on that, to see if something has changed. Like I said before, I don't like the idea of linking anything that leads to an external site, since this is a sticky a large amount of Scratchers will see, without direct ST permission.

Snip

It is a forum topic search engine by gem1001. The website is here: https://forumfind.evof.cc/ while the main topic for it is here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/901310/
If you're so hesitant about adding this website, then how did ScratchPost get through?

Hmm, I'm checking this out now and it seems like a somewhat useful resource. I've already reported the conversation to be seen, I assume the ST will be okay with it, in which case that'll be added.

I asked the Scratch Team's permission? Just like I said I would do for any other external website? Duh?

It does work, I've made sure countless times. Make sure to put a space between the slash and your keywords.
