[Suggestion] Do not require registration to search

See topic.

Just wanted to search the nLite forum.

I'm not too sure if you're aware, but you can easily search all of MSFN's posts using Google. Just add site:msfn.org to your search query along with some keywords and you should be able to find whatever you like.

As for the integrated search, I'm not too sure what the reason is for it being disabled for guests - probably something to do with bots/spammers.

Now that you are a member, you could ask or answer a question in the nLite forum. Its not a bad thing to register really. I register on forums all the time to look at something or whatever and not actually post.

Lots of searching is hard on the server/database. Requiring people to register focuses that a bit...and of course there is still the Google search.

Correct - and google search doesn't impact our servers, whereas search on this site does - we require membership if you're going to use our CPU resources .
