The best in-site search method has always been outside, via Google.
Try inputting the following in Google's search engine:

Of course, replace your name with any word(s) your heart desires.
Googlebots are omnipresent in the back end as are similar Chinese Baidu spiders/crawlers.
Which is why mere hiding sensitive comments from prying eyes won't work with algorithms of China's Golden Shield Project.
Inconsequential, neither here nor now.
Oh, The Little Corporal of Zimbabwe has returned to Spring City. Welcome back sir! ;)

Please give Patrick Scally a big raise for his hard work throughout the years evident in the archives... or at least a big 月饼, not the cheap ones from 嘉华, preferably with ice cream filling from Häagen-Dazs or DQ.

Government bans swimming at tourist-friendly Fuxian Lake
发布者Protecting the ecology of the lake is important, but protecting incompetent swimmers is just as vital.
The proficiency (lack of) of Yunnan swimmers is troubling, to speak nothing of other provinces. Too many undocumented drowning incidences of dragging ashore loved ones without a pulse, rarely reach pulse of nation. Drowning occurrences are particularly pronounced among beach-goers amidst China's travel boom across SE Asia & beyond.
Mandatory swimming courses & tests need to be implemented by the education ministry as a high-school graduation requirement. Greater budget allocation for swimming facilities would be helpful in that regards.
Much ado about...littering at Lugu Lake

LOL. I like your first sentence, and your penultimate one. I'll cheer you on too!
Stone Age graveyard discovered in Yunnan's Chuxiong Prefecture
发布者It's possible Neolithic period, which began 10,000BC and ending as late as 2,000BC in this part of the world, could overlap with the Bronze age (3,000 - 1,200BC)?

The evolution of Chinese National Day in Kunming
发布者One more thing...
If you look closely at my first picture link, the temporary housing and storage facilities are actually where the previous public spaces of Dongfeng Plaza were located.
Once the Eye of Spring towers are built to its South, that open space will return in full glory. Locals and visitors alike will dance again in "friendly & funky" hand-holding circles to traditional Yunnan folk songs.
I believe President Xi embraces the symbiotic evolution of the old and new.
