I think Trev's tried a few times to get it right but it's proven elusive to perfect.

I was trying to find a topic from last week, so I typed a keyword into the search box. I was pleased to find the exact topic I was looking for, so I clicked the link - only to be taken to a completely unrelated topic.

I've tried to search for other things with no success, so... why doesn't a site this size have a decent search function?


If you posted in the topic shouldn't "your posts list" take you there?

I have said many times the forum search is broken, and won't be fixed. The google powered search does a suffecient job, sometimes even better, the phpbb search was always week when it does work.

When the forum is upgraded to phpbb3 eventualy, the forum search will work again. The search in phpbb3 has been Greatly imporved.

I won't get into the technical reasons why the search doens't work, but there it should only be the case for a little while longer.
