Why not try using DuckDuckGo for the site search?

It has a site parameter, and protects your privacy more than Google or Bing. They also don't seem to mind it being used for site searches:

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Is it as efficient as Google search, though? I also hope it doesn't clash with the site design.

duck duck go is the best =D
they use google, as well as a bunch of other search engines, to generate their results.

also, although it wouldn't be useful here, if you have it as your default search engine it's really handy because they have special commands for hundreds of sites. if you want to search for something on youtube and ddg is the default search engine in your search bar, all you have to do is type !yt and then what to look for and it automatically takes you to youtube and uses the search function there. !gi is google images, !w is wikipedia, !imdb is imdb (:P) and so on. here's the complete list: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

EDIT: it's also pretty customisable, too. if we used the banner version, it would blend in pretty well.
also, here's an example page that shows how well it works searching omni.

Yay!

Question, though: Will the server now be permanently set on GMT+1? Because it used to be GMT-5 and since April 14th or so, all new posts have been offset by 6 hours compared to the old ones (kinda like on barrett server one day)

GMT+1 looks like it. Though I would personally prefer it to be set on GMT time to make it a bit easier (since nearly everyone knows their time zone relative to GMT right?)
Hmm there was a topic for this I think: http://ourl.ca/15272

And yay! the all important Stats Bars on action=stats are back!

My concern was more that new posts are out of sync with the rest. In fact I'm not even sure if the old posts from the old boards are in sync with the positive ones. If the server was changed to GMT+1, maybe it would be best to edit old post timestamps to be in sync?

Also since both Cemetech and Omnimaga are pretty much the only really active TI forums anymore and they are both very active, people jumping from one site to the other might get confused more with both sites running different time zones.

You can customise the time in personal settings? But I can't remember what is the default time in Cemetech. They have a nice dropdown menu for the timezone.

and yeah about the posts out of sync but can't remember when posts were actually post to compare what the timestamp is now.

You can change the time offset directly on the board, but that would cause all old posts to be even more off. Otherwise for the current setting members can just change their own personal settings.
