This leads me to ask whether or not the search function should be re-enabled. It was turned off shortly after we moved to this version of the board because there is a default setting that allows users to search every post an individual has made. Two or three people voiced concerns about the possibility of outing given that search function, and I turned it off.

I would prefer that the function be enabled, all else equal, because I sometimes remember something vaguely that I or someone else posted and would like to be able to go back and try to find it. But all else is not equal, if some people are worried about being outed, and notwithstanding my own preferences I would defer to that concern, if it is still held.
That said, I thought Adder said that he was only able to find old posts with Google, not recent ones, so the premise behind the question may not be right.
