Not trying to rub it in and be an ass, but it really does get better when you buy a membership.

The green arrow that takes you to last post on a thread you looked at, is worth it just for that  right there!
Do a search on me, took me 13 years to figure out what it was for! [:o)

Lately, yes the search feature for non-paid members is quite useless.

Not everyone can afford a membership.

Paying the expense of an exploratory surgery and related Dr visits prior to and subsequent to the surgery has a higher priority than a membership.

....without a membership, the search, and not being able to subscribe to threads can be frustrating.

This and I'm a platinum member. Google is still better than the insite search feature.

I am a paying member and still agree the search feature is worthless.  I have searched for specific things I knew were in the forum I was search and still got nothing.  Its beyond worthless.

Yes, it is beyond worthless.  Especially in the EE.  



I have an Eberlestock product for sale on page 1 of this forum.  But when I search for "Eberlestock" (search box at bottom right), the result is "No Topics Found".

How did you use the "24 hours" setting?  I don't see that setting for the search box at bottom right.

This isn't Google.  You can't use multiple keywords as it won't return results unless the topic is exactly as you type it.  

If you want to use Google to search then use Google to search.

Writing a search engine like Google has is a massive undertaking which is why Google is where it is as they have it perfected.

I don't understand why it is so hard to understand by non-programmers what a huge undertaking it is to create a Google like search engine and just isn't feasible for your average website/forum

That search box doesn't go back weeks.  Your post was made on 12/10/14 it appears so you have to use the actual search feature instead of the little box (which I didn't even know existed).

I dunno what criteria that box uses (honestly never even knew there was a box there), but if you use the actual search function it works just fine. I entered Eberlestock, searching in the entire EE, and last 2 weeks, and yours was one of 4 listings that popped up.

I didn't know that box was there, I almost never get to the bottom of a page.  I use the search tab at the top of the page.

Not a fan of the search feature, even with membership
