Esato sucks when you're trying to get a quick answer. The search function is horrible; you can spend hours trying different combinations of words and still barely get anything relevant. So then you post asking for help and people either skip right over and don't reply or tell you to search.

I've been helped a lot here, but it's the quick answers that i never get help with. Get a new search function. Honestly, it can get exhausting trying to sift thru.

Edit: Added "search" to the title

Dunno about you but I like reading the ancient topics, ahhh - those were the days...
The search is fine. The problem is 2,000,000 + posts all on the same topic - SE phones.

you can choose to sort by date in which case it will bring up the most recent search results first

generally i find the search works very well, although sometimes i'd like to search within the search results.

hey! and how many times i've searched on google and up pop threads from esato! just goes to show how much useful material there is here!

indeed... and if you want to use google to search esato, just do a site search

e.g. type into google:

site:www.esato.com unlock k850

anyone have the favorite podcasts thread bookmarked? Search only finds everything else, including t68i threads.

I've always had problems with the search... and subsequently always feel foolish when someone (usually masseur) says how easy it is.
I am sure it is easy...I am sure its just me being lazy or missing something obvious...still always have problems with it though.
