The Google search engine realy sucks. It misses threads that were just posted 3 days ago. It really sucks having to scroll through 3 days (or more) of posts, all the time hoping you're in the right forum, just to find a thread.

I believe it was found that the search thingy was contributing to the massively slow site a few months back. People were complaining about that too. Until we can come up with a way to conveniently have both, you get one or the other. Slow unreliable site, or no search.
If there is a thread you want to follow or find interesting. Use the 'watched threads' feature.
Likewise, if you use the 'ignore thread' feature, then it will weed out a lot of threads on the main page, and keep interesting ones there longer. |

| I would rather the site be faster. Someone else here bookmarks threads like a webpage. Try that also. |

Most discussion board apps use search term indexing to speed searches and improve performance. There are many techniques for optimizing searches and this site, though heavily trafficked, could use a balanced solution.
Also, without the search, the same things get posted and reposted and the same threads get repeated over and over in cycles. A good search feature would reduce the total amount of threads & posts, IMO.

Hey! Didn't know that was there...very cool. Should have known better since 'My Home' and 'Challenges' takes you to another page.
...venturing off to click on more potential gems...

Not by a lot, I bet. We had search functionality, and we still got a lot of reposts. :-)
