Then I would like to request the revision of the search function. At a forum I'm an admin at we have a search that allows you to search for either posts OR threads. The forum search we have now is painful to use (and I use it quite often) since it searches every single post and thread name with the word I typed in. It would be easier to choose either or in order to actually find what I'm looking for without skimming through dozens of pages of irrelevant results. The results are only going to get more and more vague with more threads being made. Even now it doesn't really even matter whether you go and check every page of threads or use the search function since the search gives about as many results.
