Several here seem to be in a "Search Nazi" mood at the moment (ain't sayin' they're wrong), and that is probably off-putting to every newbie who wanders in, tries a default search, and then makes the mistake of posting a question (though we're kinder and gentler about it than c-c).

Why not change the default to forever? It seems to work for c-c (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Sure, it may bring back a flood of info, but that will certainly provide the feedback that there's lot's of info out there to read. Personally, I almost always set it to forever anyway, and narrow my topic by keywords instead of date. I know where to find the threads from last week that I'm interested in; it's the stuff from last year (and so on) that I'm usually searching for.

Sean you can just come out and say it's me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

At times I do feel bad about it since the search here works, but is quirky. I also realize not everyone is "internet saavy." Some of it depends on how good the question is at the same time.

I'm really hoping for vbulletin, but that will be difficult for Kevin. However, in the long term, we will probably move there eventually.
