Yeah the search function is temperamental at best. Find it easier to type it into my URL bar and hope for the best. Not ideal for specific posts though obviously.

Have you tried Search - Advanced Search, and the 'Search Titles Only'? Although when I tried that there with 'Game Thrones' it didn't find the main Game of Thrones thread, for some reason. It did find it just doing a normal search.

I find the search function okay really - bear in mind that posts are only indexed every few minutes, so the very latest won't appear in the search results.

I don't get all these complaints - give more examples.

I don't think the results are always in chronological order, unless you choose it.

I've done a direct database search for 'feist' and 'fiest' and no such thread exists.

I've been trying to fix the search feature so it shows better results.

The site might be a little slow for a short while.
