It sucks. Even with advanced search, sometimes I can't find threads that I KNOW exist

The advanced search works quite a bit better than the Search.

For what it's worth I did a search on locked threads and it brought me here to this one............... IB4TL

I think it is terrible too. I can't ever find a thread if I don't book mark it or subscribe to it. Just remembering the disucssion and searching for it never seems to pull up any results for me.
