liek does one exist
e.g. for sifting through forum posts and searching

No.

Sort of. There's extern.php which handles a lot of computer-friendly stuff but it does not allow for text searching.

  INSTRUCTIONS
  This script is used to include information about your board from
  pages outside the forums and to syndicate news about recent
  discussions via RSS/Atom/XML. The script can display a list of
  recent discussions, a list of active users or a collection of
  general board statistics. The script can be called directly via
  an URL, from a PHP include command or through the use of Server
  Side Includes (SSI).
  The scripts behaviour is controlled via variables supplied in the
  URL to the script. The different variables are: action (what to
  do), show (how many items to display), fid (the ID or IDs of
  the forum(s) to poll for topics), nfid (the ID or IDs of forums
  that should be excluded), tid (the ID of the topic from which to
  display posts) and type (output as HTML or RSS). The only
  mandatory variable is action. Possible/default values are:
    action: feed - show most recent topics/posts (HTML or RSS)
            online - show users online (HTML)
            online_full - as above, but includes a full list (HTML)
            stats - show board statistics (HTML)
    type:   rss - output as RSS 2.0
            atom - output as Atom 1.0
            xml - output as XML
            html - output as HTML (<li>'s)
    fid:    One or more forum IDs (comma-separated). If ignored,
            topics from all readable forums will be pulled.
    nfid:   One or more forum IDs (comma-separated) that are to be
            excluded. E.g. the ID of a a test forum.
    tid:    A topic ID from which to show posts. If a tid is supplied,
            fid and nfid are ignored.
    show:   Any integer value between 1 and 50. The default is 15.
    order:  last_post - show topics ordered by when they were last
                        posted in, giving information about the reply.
            posted - show topics ordered by when they were first
                     posted, giving information about the original post.

Wait a sec, wasn't extern.php disabled? I mean last time I tried using it was about 1-2 years ago, and I didn't try again because there was no reason for it to be enabled suddenly.

Idk the feed action with all defaults appears to be working here on my phone

IIRC we also wanted to make sure it was off for anon. That doesn't seem to be an issue?

Not for new posts. Did some snooping around and at some point a change was made to push anonymous names into the database instead of having the real names paved over as the page is generated. Posts from before this change still reveal the original name hiding behind it though.
