Search function sucks!

[IchabodCrayne]

Why does the search function on every forum using this format suck so bad?
It seems no matter how I change search criteria the same results just keep coming back over and over.
I know the topic is here, I've seen, it but no amount of time wasted on search will bring it up.
Not just this forum but all that use this format/template.
There would be far less repeat topics and questions if the search functioned even a little.

I know! I've complained about that a long time ago already. Of course, stuff like that IS NEVER FIXED!

But now, if the forum topic is Quick Hitches, they will be at the top of my screen for sale. THAT, they can do!

Try putting your search terms in " quotes". When you do that , only threads with that exact phrase will appear.

Rather than using the site search, use Google search. Type the following site:tractorbynet.com back blade (or whatever you want)

Doesn't it tottaly suck you have to jump through hoops like this instead of the forum having a direct SQL query to search within it's confines? It's craptastic.

What's so hard? There's a built-in Google search right at the top of the forum.

I type in "compact tractors designed wrong" and I get the following results...

It's sad, because there is so much information here that is pretty much inaccessible.
