I've noticed the "Google Custom Search" in there when you click site, but try searching for this thread in there. If you choose site and put "Better Forum Searching" in quotes, nothing comes up. No quotes and a bunch of threads come up, but not this one with the exact same name.

Just use google. Google- TruSnow ___________ and put whatever your searching after it. Works like a charm.

While that may work why can't they just have a better search feature onsite?

I tried searching for GoPro stuff and I got threads from a few years ago about some dudes dad putting his meat in his GF...

LOL! The "G(eorge) F(orman)" thread...I remember that.

I love these forums because of the wealth of information available. It seems to me the search would be easy to fix, but there are other issues that bother me. I'd like to be able to view all the posts that I have started or replied to like a "watch list". However, when I go through my stuff, the first page is fine and the second and all subsequent pages are blank. It's little things like this that would make these forums more helpful and less of a points whoring system. If they got rid of the points system entirely, or based it solely off purchases, I would still visit the forums if they were a little easier to navigate.

yea definitely a watch list would help. Other forums already have them which makes tracking certain discussions. For right now, I have to just book mark them so I can always go back and reference them.

also being able to find threads started by a member just in case I can find a thread but I know who started it.

Thought this might be really helpful for anyone having search issue and following this thread. At least it should help you find the last couple hundred threads you had posted in.

Thanks Joe:

Unfortunatly, I don't know how well this method will work once the URL changes permanently from TruSnow to truoutdoors. I tried searching for "better forum searching site:truoutdoors.com" and came back with nothing while "better forum searching site:trusnow.com" still worked and came back with this thread as a result.

I really appreciate the help (and sorry for irritating you by starting a new thread on an obviously prior discussed topic). I honestly had never seen this thread before and I could never seem to find what I was looking for with the site search.
