Default Why is the search function so bad?

I'm searching for a past post between myself and another user, so I enter my name and the other user's name. I would think it's a simple request. But no results show up. About 5 posts should show up.

The search feature doesn't work in a lot of other ways also. Another example is when I instruct it to search in the subjects only, and it goes ahead and searches in the body of the post anyway. I don't believe it even searched through the subject text.

Default Apparently this is being discussed in the posts below. If the search function was working properly

...I would have done a search on the topic and have never posted this.

What's so frustrating about the search feature is that you remember talking to somebody about a particular topic, you know all the key words that were used in the post, and still the search feature comes up with blank results.
