I think that I found the cure for the Search system. If you used advanced search, and limit the search to say 3 months, it appears to work better.

Try it and let me know.

The "active topics" recent search section was what I relied on to find posts that I had participated in. It's been real lousy the last few weeks.

The search function was horrible until I stated limiting my searches. Even limiting them for 1 year brought back more and better results.

You can't search if you don't have any warrant .....
I believe they're trying to speed up the server so they have to remove some of the site features.

I'm so glad to see this thread. I thought I lost my mind also and since I have so many bugs on this computer I figured one of my bugs killed it! But my search function didn't work at all anyway. I would try to search and it always came back with nothing meeting the criteria. Even when I would find a phrase in a message and type it EXACTLY it still couldn't find it. So it's not worth much apparently anyway. I for one would sure like a search function if it WORKED!! This is a FANTASTIC forum but there's so much info passing through it that a search function is a MUST HAVE!! Administrators: ARE YOU LISTENING???
