Not sure where else to post this, but has anyone else noticed how terrible the search is on vBulletin? I haven't been able to search and pull up anything even remotely relevant to what I want to find since the changeover. My latest search for paladin boosting vids gave me stuff like the ToC heroic thread, blizzcon stuff, and just about everything else not related to paladins or boosting. Are there some settings that can be tweaked?

The only way I can find anything relevant is by choosing "Search Title only", and even then its hit&miss.

You also can't search for a 3 letter word.
I couldn't search for RAF to find the thread that I wanted.

It's always a ton easier than trying to use other searches.

I have to agree i use Google to search all sites that have there own search tools. I often find my self bouncing between Google and whatever site i am looking at.... Hooray for tabbed browsing :P

I've suggested this before also, but with the new change allot of the result returned gets yeh the first page and nothing else hopefully its just a matter of not being indexed yet :/

Those are threads from the previous site, unfortunately.
