First and Foremost, can we the forum? the search is not cutting it on this forum

I think it is so hard to search for anything with this forum!

Especially when you search for something and it picks up a thread with over 10 pages long, you have no idea on which page that search term picked up, it can be quite overwhelming at times.

And the search doesn't pick up as well as other forums.

Anyone with me?

When i search, i always use the 'show posts' option!

Also try the Search Titles Only option.

The quality of search you get is determined by the quality of the search function on the forum software and the quality of the posts themselves.

We're using vBulletin's commercial forum software; a lot of companies think it's the best, and pay good money for it, though lots of free forum software is available.

What would you suggest we do?
