I'm kinda getting tired of trying to find things on AR15.com and I seriously think the search button needs to either be fixed, upgraded or modified to ACTUALLY WORK WELL!!!

So I'm asking, PLEASE for the sake of us noobies getting flamed for "not searching" when search doesn't work well at all, PLEASE fix the search!!!

Search works very well when you buy a membership.

non paying members vs paying members search works different.

It is one of the more annoying revenue generation schemes.

What's different about this site and the thousands of other that they can make a buck off of advertising while offering the usual functionality to all users? Is it that because this is a gun forum so you can't add in the usual big advertising systems (like google's) that are run by anti-gun assholes?

I'm always amused in dupe threads where paying members tell the free members to pay up, so they can have a better search. "You should pay for search so we have to see less dupe threads!!!"

Or you could make it free and everyone  benefits....

Fixed for you!!. To OP, I hated the search as well, but the membership search button works great. You can even search the archives.

If the free features of this site aren't up to your standards,
go find a free site that is everything you've ever dreamed of... or create your own.

Nobody here wants to hear your bitching, nor do we give a fuck... search works just dandy for me!

$2 a month ain't shit.

If you knew how to use Google, you could use it to find what you wanted on ar15.com and bypass the site search...
I'd do that if I didn't have a team membership.

You misunderstand me. I'm not complaining about anything. I'm laughing at the asshole paying members who bitch about the free members not searching, because they won't pay.  I'm happy where I am.

I think he might be talking about the Dupe Police...  

If the news has been out for longer than 10 mins, chances are, it's been posted in here.

Pretty much. If the original thread is a few days old when the dupe is posted, people inevitably post "Get a membership so you can search GD!"

Honestly, the search function has always sucked in my opinion.  It works, but it's not the best.  Oh well.

I use google if I want to find anything.  The search tool for members is pretty lame.
