I don't know if this has been posted but if it has that will go a ways to emphasize my point :) It is very frustrating to click that Search button and then get dozens of results that are from every forum, most of which have little or nothing to do with what I actually searched.

I recommend you make the search by default search only the current forum you are browsing, and only the titles, and automatically order the results from newest to oldest. I think this could go a long way to eliminate reposts!

just my thoughts, thanks for your time and consideration.

two options, you can use the search this forum thread in the upper right, next to forum tools/under pages.


or you can do an advanced search, and select which forums you want to to search. you can also order threads by start date instead of last post.
