It seems we can't search posts/discussions?

So we can't search the message board on this site? We can only search movies, TV, actors, but not actual discussions? That's a shame. It would be good to search the discussions even if only to see if someone has already raised the topic you're about to post.

I've noticed also that Google hasn't indexed any posts on this board older than 2 months. I wonder if that is deliberate? This site has been up long enough for Google to index. If you Google the exact text in "quotes" from a post newer than 2 months old, Google finds it. Older than 2 months, google doesn't find it.

Because the site is 2 months old.

That was my idea like a thousand posts ago. Yes, we should have a search box at the top of each board, even message boards that look for keywords. There have been a few threads I have been wanting to find.

Oh and I think moderators should add another thing to their duties, consolidate like threads. So maybe merge two like threads into one.

This is important, especially allowing Google to index the site. In my favorite version of the future, this site, not imdb, will show up on page one of Google's results when searching for a movie title. Then maybe Jeff Bezos will have to ask Jim for a loan if he still wants to launch passengers into space. 😬
