It also links to a thread where getting sub-forums to show in the main forum was specifically addressed.

But if what you are saying is you want sunforum posts to how up in SEARCH results, that would be the default behavior. The old admin may have specifically excluded some forums from search results... Open the navbar template in the template editor and search for "search.php" - I think there are 9 standard occurrences of "search.php" in that template... look if any of the links have the code "&exclude=X,Y,Z" on them where X, Y, Z are forum id's of excluded forums in the search results... if so just remove the 'exclude' statements and it should work as normal.
Hi BirdOPrey,

I checked the modification you posted, and the link posted in the modification thread; however, these aren't quite what I'm looking for. Granted, they would certainly be helpful if I can't get things back to normal (so definitely a big thank you for that one!).

I'm basically looking to restore default functionality, moreso than trying to add another modification. I checked the navbar template before looking for help, but as it relates to all subforums, including ones created just recently, there obviously weren't excluded IDs to be found. Also, it won't be limited to just search criteria, as new posts don't register in the main forum, either (ie: when a post is made in a sub-forum, normal behavior is to indicate that a new post has been made in the main forum. This isn't the case at the moment, as you actually need to be subscribed to or manually searching for the sub-forum in order to see if a new post has been made).

Not sure if that explains it any better, but to see the forums in-action (won't help much, unless you find a sub-forum with new posts...so it would require a lot of searching), take a look at http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums

Thanks for your help!
