• I find it easier to find an ignored thread via an external search engine.

    That won't work for anything that Google doesn't have permission for.

    And... really? If you haven't used the search function recently the default options have changed enough that I'm surprised an external search would be either faster or more effective.

    True, I didn't think of that because I don't think I've ever ignored anything that Google or other search engines don't have permission to crawl.

    The search function is a joy to use (and I've used it a lot recently), the recourse to an external search engine is just to avoid signing out and then in again. I obviously use the internal search for anything I haven't got on ignore.
