Mods - is this acceptable?

I know the search function has been pruned, but I know of a workaround (which, while it’s fairly obvious, I won’t explicitly go into the details of here), which would enable me to search across all forums etc like we used to.

Will I get into trouble for doing that (Assuming it’s traceable)?

Mangetout, treat the Board like a buffet, not and Order-What-You-Like restaurant. If you don’t see it out, you can’t have it.

That’s what I thought, but still, it’s tempting…

Last person that got tempted got banned.

I don’t think they would actually be able to detect it; the method I have in mind would only show up as normal usage in any logging or tracking feature of the board 9it doesn’t involve hacking or anything).

In any case, I suppose it’s to be avoided because of the effect - the search function was pruned to improve the performance of the board software, it would be morally wrong to inconvenience other dopers.

Yeah.
