The rational thus far was guided by this:

that we do lookups from the post table to the thread table to the forum
table.

Now, having said that, if someone clicks a link on one of our pages to
download an attachment, view a user profile, or view the original post,
then the normal access checks will apply, as these links simply invoke
standard vBulletin files.

Still, it has been a pain for us as well not being able to search by forum. It will be added eventually. I know how to do it, that's not the problem, it's taking the time to figure out how it affects the page layout.
