I have noticed for quite some time that the search function is quite broken.  Try searching for anything distinct and it will show virtually every thread ever posted to this form, whether your term is included in a thread or not.  28 pages of results show up for everything.  Limiting searches using the search tab does not help.

i noticed that search fails when you are looking for something that is in the topic.

So the workaround is to search in the topics first, and later modify your search so that it doesn't find those topics, like searching in different subforums and/or different dates and/or excluding from search something from those topics

I'm glad there's a workaround. As for resolving the larger issue, it would need investigating by Tom since the Admin settings that Ari and I have access to have no bearing on the problem. I don't have the access to, say, upgrade the SMF version on the server.

Would it be possible if you asked Tom for those privileges? As Tom looks too busy to manage the site for years now.
