I just used it to find the 'random crap' thread and it worked... but the only result for cosplay is this very thread.

It may be that threads from the old forum aren't searchable. They just might not be stored in the db the right way, or something like that.

I've got this mole on my back. Will the Fix It! button work for that?

1) People hate it - HATE IT - when you limit searches.
2) Not sure about just letting forum members search, but if a guest comes in looking for cosplay stuff then I'm going to let them search. It's brought in a few new members that way.
3) There is no 3.
I understand what you are saying and truthfully we could probably take the resource hit on our new server. But this was one of the things that killed us before and I'm loathe to start again with the bad habits.

I saw that post, Vyx. You weren't imagining it. Also, one asterisk seems to be enough. And "Ja*" works, too.

Why does JCM get a thread and not me? :humph:
Actually, I have spotted an issue that should get fixed if you car, but I don't care that much. The Arcade link gets hidden underneath the quick search text box when the browser window is sized for my netbook. Just shrink your window and you'll see what I'm talking about.
And truly, other parts of the site are too wide for the netbook. For example, the blog stuff that gets loaded up beside the forum index; It's certainly very helpful that there's the little widget for hiding the blog stuff. I say I don't care because this is one of those things i have to put up with across the net when browsing on the little screen.
I, uh, am posting this here instead of starting another thread because I'm not asking for a fix. I'm just saying, is all I'm saying.

I might as well add that the little "tag" and "attachment" icons on the thread index have the same behaviour as the search box. They often overlap the page selection links.

One last thing... is there a way to get search result previews of the post? I mean, is there a specific way I can search a word (example : tears) and when the results come in, I can already see in the "post" form a preview of the post with the TEARS highlighted? When I try the search by type then show results as posts, I get results as threads.
