Search

I've suspected for a while that the search doesn't work properly, and this example I just came across has confirmed it...
If you search for thread with the word "Hargreaves" in tht title across all forums, it returns 2 in the United forum this year. But if you specify the United forum in your search it returns 29.

Am I missing something?

its much better.

I get 62 threads when searching for Hargreaves across all forums with the following options - see if you've changed something at some point:

The search function has always been a little dodgy.

I've never had any problems with it, though I think it lacks a "the search has to include all the words" option, though there's probably some easy way to do so by using the + sign or the like, I just haven't figured out how yet.
