I just searched for posts under my username and got this result

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search :


Seems the search is very hit or miss recently.

Ok, gotchya, that is an issue we are working on, it gets confused when you don't enter a search term (i.e. just a username and the term area is blank)
In the mean time, go to your profile, under "statistics", select "Find all posts by "VIPRETR2"

Still doesn't work. When I search for a topic with relevancy, I get neither in my results. All of the results I get are from today, the titles and thread location have no relevancy to my search.

'EGR intake plug'
'MS3 nitrous'
and others that I can't really recall at the moment. Fact is, the search definitely doesn't work the same as it has in the past.

I've tried searching "Free Mods" and nothing dealing with free mods pulls up. Just other stuff.

Yeah, it seems the search is hosed for me as well.

I just tried searching L92 heads and got some irrelevant results. The first result was titled "Yup, motor is toast" so I read it looking for my search terms and saw a 92 in there. So for grins I tried searching L93 heads thinking it made a hit on the 92, but apparently not. I got the same exact results it seems.

Try using the "quotation" marks around the phrase
