A big problem with the search is that by default it DOESNT seem to search the post title. when realistically it should be prioritizing results that include the search terms in the title.
go to the search box and type "FS about 150 or more REAL BOUT"
this is the first 7 words of a thread in the for sale section.. the search will tell you that it doesn't exist.
Now search again for "realbout" you get 4 results, the first two are posts in the middle of that thread where someone used that term. and then two other results that don't even use that term at all (so no idea why they're included).
beyond that it prioritizes quantity of words as opposed to context (like google does) so even if it does find a thread that has the words your looking for it's often not the thread you were looking for.
