I've brought this up before in the past, but it still seems to be broken. The reason everyone jumps to say :search: is because the main search button automatically sorts results by DATE POSTED, not by RELEVANCY. If you go to Search and then Advanced Search and change the RESULTS SORT to RELEVANCY you get ACTUAL results. People see the new search bar up top and don't know they are only seeing results in the date posted.
For example, I just typed in "engine tick" in the results bar, and got nothing. I went to Advanced Search and sorted by Relevancy and search again, BOOM a page full of results.
If you want people to actually stop posting the same thread over and over and over, I believe that somehow that main search bar on the page has to be changed to RELEVANCY. Just because information is a few years old does not mean it isn't relevant anymore..
My 2 cents. Opinions?
