BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
You asked, threatened, even offered bribes (no joke, someone PM'd me, offering me $1,000) to fix the way our WIN's search works, and, for so long, our answer has sucked. We can't. As a .WIN, we benefit from the (may peace be upon their devs) main codebase given to all the WINs by the devs. So sometimes, when search doesn't work, we can't really do anything about it.
UNTIL NOW.
Thanks to our in-house coding genius, u/Bubble_Bursts, we have found a way to AWESOMEIZE our .WIN's search via a convenient .JS addon script you can download into your browser that adds some rogue, unauthorized features!
The script lets you scroll forever 'till the end (no pages, which makes searching for something way easier), and, well, that's it. But that's pretty fricking awesome and saves a ton of time!
Here's how to get it:
STEP ONE
Get TamperMonkey for your browser here.
Tampermonkey is the most popular userscript manager, with over 10 million users. It's available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox.
STEP TWO:
Download the script. TamperMonkey will automatically install it. Get it here:
https://files.catbox.moe/29hfz4.js
NOTE: If it doesn't automatically install, you will have to make the script inside the TamperMonkey's dashboard. If this proves necessary for lots of users, would one of you mind whipping up some quick instructions? I'll paste them here.
That's it! Oh. One more script is coming as soon as u/Bubble_Bursts is finished with it that will also awesomize a different feature.
Any suggestions? Please send us a DETAILED modmail.
Enjoy!

(kidding, can you decode that?)
Thanks to all the people giving valuable feedback.
Special shoutout to u/CoolAsACucumber/ for giving detailed instructions!
Please reply to this stickied comment ONLY if:
You have a bug to report
You have a feature request (bring any feature request, not just related to search. Ofc, we cant guarantee every request will be done!)
There’s no way for .win site managers to add a script tag?!
As one coder to another!
Good job!
Your reply is an obvious case of bitching for the sake of bitching. No rules were broken.
Sit down, asshat.
Obvious, eh?
Not a merchandise, nor is it a fundraising
Not a personal website, blog, channel, nor is it a spam
No profits, just another patriot spending his free time trying to make this site better and sharing it for free
Not an advertise for anyone.
Clearly, for some people here, Peace is not the prize.
Some people are just complete fucktards and can't appreciate a kind gesture, a helping hand, and have nothing better to do but bitch cuz they aren't talented like that. Ignore em!!! I only have a phone, so I can't use this, but awesome job u/Bubble_Bursts!!! Thank you and if I get a computer, I'll be hunting this up.
So, I don't post. However, I wrote something to sort stuff with a javaScript injection plugin. I'm not familiar tampermonky, nor have i set up your script, yet. I'm responding because it sounds complimentary enough, and you could probably include what I wrote or just take the idea: My script injects a button on the page and attaches a function to that button to reorder loaded posts by comment count.

I was banned for posting that script directly in a post which is my own fault because it was detected as an attempt to inject code ... It was pretty dumb of me, but after nagging the mods a couple of times I was unbanned. I wanted to share it back then.
Personally, I'm a truth seeker, and having the ability to sort post by activity allowed me to keep up with small windows of browsing time. The last few years have been crazy, so not having this site would be super sad. Having the ability to sort by activity instantly beyond what was in /rising or 'hot' was icing for me. My typical use case is to look at /new > scroll to load a few pages to get +8hr or +24hr worth of posts on the page, then sort. For me, this is more informative than whatever has been randomly stickied or whatever happens to be on /rising.
Thanks, it looks good and looks very useful. I will try and incorporate this into the script.
hi And thank you resident genius... just a side wuestion that I asked catsfive...: Is there a summary of formatting code comands for user posts such as ">" for bullet points and "u/" for user call outs and gif loads? thanks for going above and beyond.!
It’s a version of Markdown, so you can look that up and see what parts of Markdown work here. Obviously the part of your question that concerns
u/
formatting still stands.
