Re: Why the search engine is terrible
Most forums search engines are terrible.
The workaround is to use Google. Google (and many other large search engines) will let you limit the search to a site. You mentioned AI and by poster. Putting into Google
AI "Gandalf Parker" -SE4 site:forum.shrapnelgames.com
searches this site for AI with my name and excludes some posts in the Space Empire files
Also Google has lots more switches that can be used. In fact the only forums Ive ever seen with a decent search had their search button set to google with the site: locked in. Altho I do use the search (the advanced search) on the forum to find all posts by someone, or to limit it to tags such as guide, or to search in specific date ranges.
