Or the power search on the right side.
I know what Power Search is. Strangely, it seemed to work today on all three browsers I tried (Android stock, Sailfish stock and Pale Moon on Windows). I had not tried it for years because it had never worked before, wherever and whenever I tried:

I've just had another look at the new Custom Search:
A simple Integration is really trivial with access to the page html, in fact, I have set up one with my account as a test, including some maemo-esque colours. But as I am not a member or representative of Maemo e.V., I don't think that's useful (there seem to be a few search statistics like "top search phrases" to which I would have access).

For a registered non-profit, a free version without ads is available, that might be a nice thing to have. https://www.google.com/nonprofits/

EDIT:
The old search-ID seems to still work. So the working code would be as follows:
Code:
    <script>
        (function() {
          var cx = '012414234624903107508:2laarii9gbw';
          var gcse = document.createElement('script');
          gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
          gcse.async = true;
          gcse.src = 'https://cse.google.com/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
          var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
          s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
        })();
      </script>
      <gcse:search></gcse:search>

Can we not switch to another search provider? One whose business objective isn't to collect as much data as possible on every individual on the planet?

I agree, it is rather pointless to use external provider for searches since the data is in our own servers.

Wait, why do we have 3 search boxes?

What is wrong with this one - http://talk.maemo.org/search.php , which is a mere 3 items down in the same menu...

I support/propose to try that.

Agreed. Right now we have Search and Advanced Search (internal) and also Power Search (external). Are you suggesting we get rid Power Search or replace it with some other internal search?

I'm often able to find what I'm looking for with the internal search. Sometimes I use DuckDuckGo if I can't.

One problem with external search engines like DuckDuckGo or Google is that they index words listed under the "Active Topics" which is displayed on every page. These words may be completely irrelevant to the indexed thread, so you end up with a lot of false positives in the search results.

This is TMO, not some Android forum. Many people here actually care about privacy. I think it's useful to have an external search option but Google is just unacceptable for many TMO users. Not to mention, why on earth should JavaScript be required for searching? I appreciate that velox is trying help out, so no offence, but I think it's time we got rid of Google.

This would be my proposal:

Code:
<iframe src="https://duckduckgo.com/search.html?duck=yes&site=talk.maemo.org&prefill=Search TMO with DuckDuckGo&focus=yes" style="overflow:hidden;margin:0;padding:0;width:483px;height:60px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
