Don't want to grunt, groan or complain, but...

...the forum search is still a bit rubbish. How about being able to search for keywords in a thread, not just the title? It seems a bit superfluous to be able to search by the amount of views or replies - I mean, who even knows that stuff? And yet a really useful search filter is omitted.

We have much bigger issues to deal with than some search improvements. When all the fires go out, we'll get to the fun stuff. Still dig the watermelon.

Hi David, for sure there are bigger and more important issues to deal with, I fully appreciate that. I guess the point I'm making is that people are still going to be filling the forum up with multiple repeat issues/queries that have been addressed many times in the past. The answers are there, but they're very difficult to find. A new set up is an ideal time to add a new filter to streamline the forum, make it more efficient and user friendly and avoid the database getting big, bloated and slow with unnecessary repeat content. Just my 1c :-)

Raveyd, your point is well taken. That's why I publish my Guide to Buzztouch. GoNorthWest has his How-Tos. In my view this as most good things some things are bigger than the creators. You may have you views of what important (Which every one may agree upon) but when and how and what's next on the list is where even very reasonable minds will diverge upon. Use my search engine. Key words are allowed. Use my guide. Keywords not as necessary. Fred
