Default Why is the S2KI search so bad?

I have frequented several webboards and the search on S2KI is by far the saddest. Why is it so bad. It can't be a cost thing since this site has many members who pay and many many sponsors who pay. Please take some of the profits and put them into a decent search.

i really dont see whats so bad about the search. It works pretty good, you just gotta change the search option so you can have it filter by dates.

Its kind of hard to make a good search engine that uses titles.. especially when people dont follow the rules and dont have detailed titles

Please use less keywords. I have no problems so far, except that search cannot work with Greek fonts. cthree is working on the fonts issue as far as I know.

the only thing i don't like about the search function is the number of the same threads that appear. for example, do a search for "bride exas" and on the first two pages of results, the thread "Bride Artis Vs. Bride Exas" appears 21 times.
