Honestly, this is the worst forum when it comes to it. I should expect something a little better from such a technical forum, and when I try and search for a few basic things, using all the elements of the search bar, to make it easy as possible, I get jack squat. WTF is wrong with this god damned forum and its god damned search bar?

How do you cope? I'll basically end up having to bookmark threads I like because the search is so crap. Can't the technically inclined mods do some new programming, to make the search better, or move to a better forum program. Jesus, this is so fvcking annoying.

The search function sucks on this forum and apparently the developers knows and wants it that way.

That is why vBulletin owns the forum industry.

So the search only searches title and summary? Why in God's name would you design a search that doesn't search the body of posts?
