| 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. http://www.revscene.net/forums/icbc-...g-t628549.html
It doesn't matter if you capitalize or not, or search entire posts vs. titles only. It doesn't pull up the linked thread.

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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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.
