Default Search is USELESS

I was trying to find a post I made a few months ago, so I went to the search.

First, I tried afouria, since that's my user name. I have about 2000 posts according to audiworld counter, but search one returned ONE post.

Then, I tried searching for mas roger, which was part of the subject. That returned about 15 posts, but noe of the ones I have made.

Why does search not return MOST posts?

Default Absolutely true. The boolean operators? less than useless

I tried a search for "What is real" and got 32,000 hits.

I tried a search for what NEAR is NEAR real and got 4,250 hits

Its pretty useless.

Good work on the rest of the site, I know how tough it is to make something like this, especially for free, but the search is one glaring wart.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

google seems to work better. Maybe a link off the search page will help
