The search function sucks. I can't ever find threads I know exist.
Last week, I believe, there was a thread entitled "Stupid Tax Question," I type in tax and it says there is no matches.

More tends to be more with the search. Since it is looking through the whole thread for the words you use to search, give it as much as you can. I actually found it a lot easier with "stupid tax question" than I even did with "stupid tax."

the search function is pretty weak. you would think it would search thread titles first but i guess not

Are you using the Basic Search or the Advanced Search function? I've generally had better luck with the Advanced Search.

I actually typed in "stupid tax" first and it responded "You owe $2,000." So, I'm not sure what that's all about.

I typed in "Stupid" and all I got was a bunch of posts from GC..:wink::wink:

Then I typed in "moron" and all my posts showed up. Yep, I think the search software needs a revamp.
