SEARCH Function of this site?

[BodyBagger]

When I try and search on this forum, I can not get anything newer than 2007. Is this just me or a known bug? I do remember something from a LONG time ago about the search not working properly, is this the same issue? If so, who is supposed to be fixing it?

Thanks,
BB

Here is my old but still working Google Custom search, just search and then refine to restrict to this forum.
Hope it works better for you.

Hello Stefan,
That is a handy tool and it works well. Thank you.

Site management have been aware of the search function problem for a long time. They introduced the Google Custom Search function (top centre of page) as an interim workaround. It is similar to Stefan's solution.

I recently read in another forum that a permanent solution is very near completion.
