Subject: Is "Search Forums" working properly?
Seems to me that, before the recent "Great Switch," that the "Search" function worked better than it does now. Specifically, I thought that it searched the body of posts for key words, whereas now it appears to only search the titles. Is that the way it is supposed to work?

I have the same problem. I had posted something about Hilco swimming goggles in the main discussion section because I didn't find it in the search function, and I know for sure, it's come up before.

not forgetting this...the description was turned off during the first week as with the increased processing of new features, many users included the word 'the' in the search terms...hence searching through 130,000 posts wigged-out the processor and slowed the site down.

it didnt become an apparent problem before as there wasnt as much going on.

were working on it though.
