    Ever since it has been updated, it seems to be such a pain trying to search for crap. I always get some sort of problem, or no results show up.

    Does anyone else have this issue?

    Sometimes it will never load, and then I press the button again and it gives me the timer. Annoying as shit.

    Make sure you set it to Search Single Content Type and it will be on Posts by default.

    Search has always always been a piece of shit, in all it's forms.

    I could type a post of mine in, word for word, set the poster as "Danimal", point at the right forum and I still never find what I'm looking for.

    Also, what are 'child forums'? The advanced search includes this option.

    The forums only I have access to.

    Just kidding, it means subforums. Like video/images/flash dump, or minecraft.

    Oh also, I or anyone else cannot search for my threads because you have to type in at least 3 characters :p They should fix that.
