Why does the search engine not work?

I can't fine any of my last ten or so posts. Half the time when I search by my username it tells me no matches. What gives?

Look at top sticky a few threads up....

The search feature has been hosed for weeks (possibly over a month)....especially trying to find info under anyone's specific screen name.

Someone needs to make that issue go away!

(and that feature isn't broken, you're just not using it correctly).
