Is it just me or does the SEARCH suck now?

I havent used the SEARCH in awhile now, but it really does suck right now.

It used to be very good, now it brings up random threads that have nothing to do with what im looking for.

Yes I do know how to search properly, ive been a member for awhile now and used it alot in the past.

where have you guys been, it has been like that for awhile due to IB changing how the search functions, there have been a million threads about this already and apparently they aren't changing it back.

thats not a problem anymore, if they refuse to have a good search engine then ask any question you want

we already tried protesting, IB locks and deletes all the threads. i know a few people go to google then type ls1tech and then type whatever you want to search for, sounds kind of stupid but its supposed to work alright.

im sure this thread will get deleted as well HI IB

IB likes it this way, instead of being able to search to find use full info and FAQ's you now have to make a new thread. it keeps the activity & post levels up.
I don't like it or allot of things but the founding fathers asked us to be civil and not boycott or nothin so..what are you gonna do..
