I tried searching for a thread that I'd started which had "care data" in it somewhere. The forum's own search engine refused to look because both words were too common. I tried to google search the forum but that didn't work either. I couldn't search for topics that I'd started, and I didn't want to wade through 600+ pages of results of posts by me.
In the end, I remembered another term. But it was such a faff to find.

@saspro - is there any way we can improve the search facilities to help locate threads more easily? ty

I've tried rebuilding the index, should take a few hours to do.

Searching for “another shooting” returned nothing - despite there’s a 9 page long thread with that title.

Ditto - pretty much any topic title can't be found, even using the advanced search with 'topic titles only' switch set. It seems to have only indexed individual post content, not forum content as a whole.

I've just tried searching for a post I made some time ago, but couldn't find anything, despite using several words, (individually) which I know are in the post title.
