Church website searches now return Tech Forum results?

Post by BrianEdwards »

Perhaps I've just missed this and it's been around for a while. If so, I'm sure somebody will kindly point it out...

But I just noticed that when searching on the Church website, results now include Tech Forum posts. Is this something that is a part of the revamped search functionality that recently was enhanced? And if this has been around for a while, any idea when this was included? I'm hoping the answer isn't "it's always been there", which would just show how attentive I generally am! :D

ChurchofJesusChrist.org search was switched from Bing to Google in June of this year, and that's when it started including Tech results. I think it's basically just doing a "site:churchofjesuschrist.org" search now (which includes Tech), with a few enhancements.

For example, compare these searches:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/search?lang=eng&page=1&query=ask%20of%20God
https://www.google.com/search?q=ask+of+God+site%3Achurchofjesuschrist.org

FamilySearch, BYU Speeches, and a few other Church-affiliated websites are also included.
