So, there I was, browsing Newgrounds as usual, when I found a link in some guy's sig, stating:

"Edit your posts!"

Thus, out of sheer curiosity, I clicked the rather strange and inviting link.

I was Promptly brought to this website, which is obviously fairly new, considering that yesterday's April Fool's joke was listed there. I'm not sure who, exactly, is responsible for the making of this website, but there was one link stemming from the index that I couldn't resist clicking:

"Search Newgrounds and its Wiki"

Here is the page that I was brought to.

Now, I know this isn't exactly a Newgrounds-affiliated text search engine, per se, as can be inferred from the "powered by Google" icon on the page itself.

But I couldn't help but notice its the closest thing I've yet seen to a Newgrounds-exclusive text search engine.

I think it's pretty fucking novel. Try it out for yourself.

Well, yeah but it's not NG-exclusive. It's got other sites, too.

You've never used Google's search site function?

lol, believe me, it is not even close to comparable to the text search of old.

No. I have not signed up with google. It's just this feature I found off of them, and decided to make a NG search.

No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - cheesebunny - did not match any documents.

yeah, if it cant find the cheesebunny, its not worth my time

There used to be a Text Search years ago. I don't know why they got rid of it, but it was better than Googling stuff :/

Isn't that an old joke? I remember somehow finding a topic from liljim about the text search, he said it would be back soon and people were believeing him and stuff. I take it they never brought it back?

a inurl:newgrounds.com preceding any search on google will do the same thing without all the hassle.

How is less of a hassle if you have to type more in the search bar?
