The search engine on every forum sucks. It comes that way. We would like to fix it but have no plans as such.

People tend to complain about search when they can't find what they are looking for.

Have you guys considered buying a Google search box and offering their indexing to the members? I have never checked pricing, but it would be an awesome fix if the price was decent.

google indexes the site anyway, but they only have about 10% of the threads.

See my post about various things, including search in this thread:
