Omnisearch moved?
-
Feeling like a newb, but can’t find Omnisearch. It appears there’s a link on my blog that goes to a commercial site and I don’t allow those. Help, please. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@windwhistle, I’ll check on ominsearch for you. Can you let me know what you were searching for? We may be able to help from this end.

I tracked down the link and disabled it. However, I’m still wondering what happened to Omnisearch. I don’t use it often, but when you need it, nothing else will search every aspect of your blog.

Thanks @windwhistle, it’s looking like it may have been deprecated — sometimes that can happen if a feature needs maintenance but isn’t being used much.
I’ll let folks know it was wanted here :)

“have been deprecated — sometimes that can happen if a feature needs maintenance but isn’t being used much.”
Plz, get it back!
I used this feature daily, and i need it!WP is updating itself worser and worser…

And btw: It worked almost perfectly.
Only with search terms sort ot xy.zz?=X there was a little problem, but no reason for a real maintenance, because that’s peanuts :-) -

still not working
Hi there. As @supernovia said above, the feature has been deprecated, i.e. permanently removed from WordPress.com. It won’t work, as it’s no longer there.
We’ve communicated your feedback to our developers about wanting the feature back, but can’t make any promises as to if or when this might happen. For now, Omnisearch is no longer there.
On the Posts, Pages and Comments screens of WP-Admin and My Sites you can still search that specific content type.

Even the simplest word processing program has a global search feature. And the more complex the document (or website), the more that feature is needed to find all manner of things that wouldn’t appear in a plain document. Please bring it back.

But i’m really sad about the disabling of this very economic feature, helping to save many hours of uselsess wasted time with this:
“On the Posts, Pages and Comments screens of WP-Admin and My Sites you can still search that specific content type.”
I know, but it takes at least 5x as much time to do any in-site-research with this complicated way… should tell u, that i have the omnisearch in my quicksearch-bar since it was released view years ago… what quickens in-site-research up very efficiently… but since the omnisearch moved, i have now, after all the destruction by broke-updating a until the middle of 2014 wunderful working platform named “wp” happened since the beep-beep-boop-release, really asked me the question again, if it’s time now to definetly say bye-bye wp.
And as windwhislte says:

Dear staff,
by communicating the feedback to your developers, please dont forget to mention, that I am already about to leave wordpress.com/wordpress not only because of the loss of omnisearch, but because of all those changes, updates, new features and developments lately. Specially since they enveloped the new dashboard its getting worse and worse. Supposing to be up-to-date, wordpress is becoming Mainstream, losing its individuality and your guiding star looks like google. (In fact its the Death Star, introducing itself as your beloved mothership) Not only by taking off a feature once in a while, but by featuring all that stuff that brings wordpress closer to any other site. In the end a wordpress-site will work (and almost appear) like a facebook-account; this is were you “developing” to slowly; a dying star – beep.beep.beep, after loosing its innocence, beep.beep.beep, looking to survive, beepbeepbeep, mothership (such big boopboopboops) is waiting -
Oh, no, not again! This trend of silently killing useful features is, literally, killing my desire to have anything to do with WordPress.
Omnisearch was a good feature. It is still in Jetpack. Will this be another feature that is only available to paid upgrades?
WP is starting to just feel like another money-grubbing corporation that doesn’t care about its customers. So sad, as WordPress really was a revolutionary publishing tool.

Отсутствие внутреннего поисковика на сервисе это просто позор! Это свидетельствует о деградации сервиса и его низком уровне. Он становится всё хуже и хуже. Очень жаль. Вордпресс, прощай ?
The lack of an internal search engine on the service is just a shame! This indicates a degradation of the service and its low level. It’s getting worse and worse. Very sorry. WordPress, goodbye?
