why searching here sucks?

[Mazinger]

I find it very very difficult to search here...

I got the same not related results every time.

Both are fine, really depends on how much you're allowing your users.

Try to refine your search, dont search the entire forum, rather search a specific forum you think what you might be looking for is in.

Also, sometimes it helps to just search the title as well.

I rarely fail at finding what I am looking for.

I find it difficult sometimes as well - even when searching only titles; especially if a search keyword is below the minimum character amount.

Searching a site with over 1 million posts is always going to get you a lot of results unless your search is very specific.

It would be nice if threads had tags

For exmple, If I try to search for ... hidden content mod ... or anything similar .. i got the first same results as everytime :

Abir 2 Style
[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack
Geek Article System 3.52
GRPS: Groups Commune 2.0.x
Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on User's Post Count
[AJAX] vBShout v2.0
Banner Rotator (Definitive Mod) **UPDATED**

... and the original mod what I was searching for.. no results for it.

* Only on these forums *

I have to agree,VB search is quite rubbish,thats why i use google to search vb.com or vb.org

ex. site:vbulletin.org abir 2 style (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search)

you only get old indexed results but they are still better/
