the comment search is broken

Yes, and it won't be fixed anytime soon. It requires MariaDB 10, but because of some problems this site was having with MariaDB 10, I downgraded to MariaDB 5 and manually edited the database to remove features exclusive to MariaDB 10. So, even though we are running MariaDB 10 on the backup site, it lacks support for comment search, because its database is just a backup of the one here. For the present, I don't dare update the Linux software on this site, because if the server shuts down, which it sometimes does to complete some updates, I cannot reboot it. Also, the backup server is using Rocky Linux, while the main server is stuck with CentOS 7 for the time being. Since I paid for this server for a year, I plan to keep it until near the time to renew. And if the hosting service doesn't shape up soon, I may jump ship to the backup site and find another host for a new backup site.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote
