Default Fix for the search engine/option?

Is there any plan to fix the search function? It has become utterly useless with the amount of junk it returns. The search options available on the old site allowed me to search and find exactly what I'm looking for. The new search engine seems to return whatever it likes based on my keywords.

Search engine on this site is TERRIBLE!!! If you compare s2ki's search with say vwvortex's search engine, the s2ki engine is a joke! Anyways, please review the effectiveness of the current search engine. At least give us the ability to filter by date posted!! Anyways, I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying "VW" on a Honda site! I own cars from both makes so I am immune =)

The search engine on this site is horrible. Forums as small as 1,000 members to as large as 500,000 have better search functions. Even free sites have better search functions. You have to use Google to get results on here.

Upgrade the search, especially for members. C'mon... there has to be some money for that.

Hahaha.. you bastard. Keep it serious. I say we boycott the search function and keep asking the same questions over and over and blame it on the search function.

Please fix the search function. I would upgrade to Gold if you only offered it to gold members or even regular members. It's embarrassing having to search using Google (site:s2ki.com <search phrase>) feature.

What does imminently mean? It better mean "now."

Cthree- When can we expect the new search function?
