What's wrong with the search function?
 

For instance, do a keyword search for ICBC. The most recent hit is a thread from Oct 2.

Yet, there is a more recent thread here that uses the term "ICBC" in the title and various posts.

It doesn't matter if you capitalize or not, or search entire posts vs. titles only. It doesn't pull up the linked thread.

Been like that forever.

I brought it up back in February 2009: http://www.revscene.net/forums/somet....html?t=565412

Someone else complained July 2009: http://www.revscene.net/forums/wtf-w....html?t=581433

SG's last post in that thread is not relevant. Same erroneous results are produced whether you use the quick search or the advanced search.

I found the following link: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...rking-properly

Maybe need to rebuild search index? I dunno.

try downloading more RAM it will queue the new search results better. you guys must have pentiums only, i have intel so it works for me.

best way to do it is to use google.

Search:
icbc site:www.revscene.net/forums
it seems to give the most recent results most of the time.
Might not be convienient, but its an alternative.

Doesn't seem to give good results for me.

Works quite well for me, i forgot a step tho. You have to select "Latest" from the "More" options.

If you want to look for recent posts only, just go into the advanced search and select the option part way down saying you want results from x-date and newer.

That has always worked like a charm for me!

vBulletin search has always been limited, I think there are add ons that help improve it though?

Would agree on using google custom search, but that depends on whether or not the thread gets indexed quickly.

That's not a bad method... think I'll do that from now on.
