Try looking for a topic by 'searching'. I'd say ur chance is, like, 0%. lol
Seriously, something should be done about this. Wat'd u guys think?

I know what the man means though
The search aint the best, it gives you a thousand options and none of them are the one you want
Shouldnt matter about the name of the thread. Should be able to find it

Wat'd u mean a 'better title'? What i'm sayin is dat u couldnt find a thread u've read before even if u knew the title. And this makes the search grossly inadequate.

I've said it before and I'll say it again (there was also once a bit of fun for me to find threads that members choe, in a short time!)
the search works fine but you need to understand its quirks.
its clearly not s good as google and I sometimes go out to google and do a site search

Try this Ahmed5:
Examples:
apple banana - find posts that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice - find posts that contain both words.
+apple -macintosh - find posts that contain the word "apple" but not "macintosh"
apple* - find "apple", "apples", "applet".
"some words" - find "some words of wisdom", but not "some noise words".

If you want to go back to a topic why don't you Bookmark it?
Thats another option you have!
