I've tried several times to search for certain things and I get 7 or so pages of results and when read through the threads they rarely have the info or words that I've search for in the thread. This morning in the RC4WD Bully section I searched for " titanium links" and got 7 pages of results. I read through each of the posts on the first page and non of them had the word "titanium" in them. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?

Works fine for me. Here is what I get when I type the words "titanium links" into the search and limit it to the Bully section:

Are you searching "titanium links" or are you searching " "titanium links" "

I bet all the posts you found had "links" in them ;) If the phrase isn't in quotes, it will search for all titanium and all links. If it's in quotes, it'll only find titanium links together just like that.
That's generally how most search engines work. I haven't tried to see if you can use "or", "and", "not", etc, but some work like that too.

BTW, I kinda like that the first result is this thread

I was searching without the quotes but none of the results had the word titanium anywhere in the posts. I don't have a problems using the search on most forums but this one seems kind of buggy or something.

Edit: I just tried searching with quotes and I get the same results, titanium does not show up in any of the resulting posts.
