Been using the internet since inception, and now this forum is charging us just to use basic search, claiming goolge is charging fees to use search? I don’t understand, if there’s a simple search bar algorithm (aren’t there dozens like Bing or Yahoo or Duck Duck go etc) why there’s some issue with charging to use google for search? I’ve spent time reading and trying to understand this but … I just don’t. Can’t the web developer just put a search function on their website and be done with it? Isn’t this how the internet has always existed or have I never understood search to begin with?
thnx

A website can just use googles search function on thier own page, you type in, it asks google and filters for only pages on that domain.
Doing that costs google money, they run giant servers all over the world.
So google ask the website owners for their money back.
Ofc you could do your own seaech engine, it would be some manual work and would work much slower and worse than googles, but thats what many others do. Depending on how your forum buld their website there could be other alternative search functions.
