The search function is an extremely important tool. All players, but especially new players, benefit from the ability to search through the tomes of information on this forum, particularly given the frequency with which threads are moved from one subforum to another.
But this forum's function is flawed and I frequently discover there to be no way to find the information I seek. Here are a couple examples:
1) I want to find Svenningen's posts in the CC? Why Bother? thread. There are currently seven. The search function returns only the first, so I'm forced to either wade through dozens of pages on the thread or dozens of pages in his profile.
2) I want to find all of my posts in the Battle Results subforum. Unaccomplishable. It's a real word.
3) I'd like to be able to link a completed search as well, like this (
