Sometime last week, I noticed the google search feature disappeared from the regular neopets search. Anyone know what happened? In either case, a very valuable research tool is gone now. Or can regular google searches still work for neopets? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:42, 7 Aug 2007 (UTC) | Sometime last week, I noticed the google search feature disappeared from the regular neopets search.

Search function: Google gone?[edit]
Sometime last week, I noticed the google search feature disappeared from the regular neopets search. Anyone know what happened? In either case, a very valuable research tool is gone now. Or can regular google searches still work for neopets? --Jacob 19:42, 7 Aug 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't even realize that it was gone actually. It might have disappeared along with the layout change but I'm not sure. I went to Google and searched for "Royal" within the Neopets news and it works fine. Search results :) --Dizzy 20:36, 7 Aug 2007 (UTC)
