I never had any luck with Search. I conducted like maybe 2-3 searches in my whole time being here and never found anything lol.

Thanks for being so descriptive in your post. That really helps.

The search works just fine, if you know how to use it. How about some examples of the problems you are having with it?

i see what u mean, i recently had an pac song playing on youtube and tried a quick search with the full title - nothing came up. so i googled it, way faster, wrong lyrics but ye it was faster

by typing in the normal search field : when i get free, there s#hould at least pop up the one from the lyric section

I think the search feature would work better if when people started threads you add tags to it. I know the search feature doesn't work ideally like you would think it would. But maybe that'll help.

As I said before, the search works perfectly if you actually know how to use it, and take the time to use it correctly. You can't expect to just type in "Afeni" and click search and find the exact thread you are looking for. Remember the search is a KEYWORD search. Every word you are searching for is used thousands, if not ten's of thousands of times on the site throughout the half a million posts, containing over 20 billion words on the site. There is no way for a search function to intelligently know which thread with "Afeni" in it you are looking for.

Use the various filtering options to narrow your search, and it will work much better.
