Searching for the Search button is often overlooked. Go figure.

LEARN HOW TO SEARCH USING BOOLEAN TERMS.

The advanced search function has an option to search using Boolean parameters, as opposed to Natural Language parameters. It will help you an immeasurable amount. If you don't understand Boolean, google it. It's worth your time to learn it.

I'll take the advice you guys have been given with regards to using the advanced features. Try it out, but I still think it works poor. I will update after a few weeks of searching.

Funny though someone mentioned here using google.com for searching and I found that works better. Maybe I just have a problem searching. I start a new thread how to search. LOL, joking...

I've offered to develop and host a search engine with google-quality results, but not much interest from the admins I guess. The thread is here:

You don't know HOW to search.

You can search through the ENTIRE forum, or you can search through SUBFORUMS.

Hell, you can even search in INDIVIDUAL THREADS.

Learn your chit man.

Not picking on ya, but Search does work and it works fine.
