Seeing as how the Search function is so obviously underused, can you not make it a bigger button?

For example, accross the top of the page you could make it as big as:

Forum Home Search >>New Topic >>Post Reply

Surely something needs to be done about the vast numbers of topics that are being repeated over and over again.

Along the same lines as the previous post, couldn't the FAQ buton be bigger and moved to the top of the page?

I'm sure making the Search and FAQ buttons more prominent on the page would help cut down the ammount of repeated posts and topics.

better idea - the FAQ's should load when you are about to start a new post - then you can back up & read them - will save time & money.

Is there a problem with the search algorithm?

I am having some strange results or problems recently (or may be its just me only)

Just an example now, if I search for “billionton” with in the body and the title, I only get 9 topics which does not include
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=18817&forum=18&start=80

This topic has this word in many posts.

Similar when you search with the author. In fact you can not search for the author only. It may be very handy if we can search all the posts by author only?

Any commends
