When using any search engine the more specific you get the chance of hits is reduced.

I almost always have issues with the search function here. That's why I don't use it much. But they are right in saying the more specific your search the fewer results you'll get.

The (new version of the) search feature could function better. It no longer consolidates multi-posts within the same thread when choosing the thread (vs post) option. This is my biggest complaint since the lack of consolidation can make manually searching of the hits more tedious.

I also find it much more difficult to find historic posts under the advanced feature. Combining terms seems less successful -- especially when using phrase delimiting or conjunctions.

I think it will lead to more repetition of questions.....

Yeah, I guess I was over-reacting with all the Smilies:o. It makes me feel better to see that others have the same frustrations.Maybe this thread will lead to a better search "engine".
