the matches that are produced when searching are not like a google search with the top ten matches they are just anything with the same word in the title. Example: I was searching for the official postingon TWW while at work thread and it gave me 7 pages of results when i knew that was the exact title and that title wasn't even on the first page. I guess that may be the reason why some people don't use the search before they make new threads?

those threads should be purged anyways.

This thread has been made before, you sholud use the search



Really this is the reason people don't use the search, plus they are really lazy.

i admit that i'm lazy, and that's the number one reason i don't search...that said, the one or two times i DID, it didn't work, so i figure why bother?

extremely old, but really people shouldn't get mad at people who don't find a similar thread to their's bc it is really hard with the search function on this site

the search function just blows

i think its funny that i almost never have a problem with the site's search function
most everytime i can find what i am searching for

but i do agree that it needs a lot of tweaking

yeah i can generally find what i need, but there has been a few entertainment threads where i searched for something,nothing came up, then 2hrs later it worked.

it would be awesome if it was powered by google but that probably costs $texas

it's better this way

seriously, sometimes there will be a thread on page 2 of a forum called "X and B"

I will search X
I will search B
I will search X and B
I will search x and b
I will search x
I will search b

and I get one thread that is like Xfollowedbyabunchofotherletters followed by more words
that is 90 days old.
