well you have options in search posts or topics, but as we know search here is pretty messed up, so good luck with that Very Happy

something we've been begging for quite a while now. Makes looking for a particular thread impossible cause if you search for crysis, the least you will get is every thread the game is mentioned in instead of JUST the titles.

^^ I remember that someone posted a site with game music themes. But I wasn't able to find it, because each and every thread containing "theme" was listed in my search results Sad

What helps is searching for the word, then use Ctrl + F to quickly search through the pages of the search results. Usually the thread is on the first few pages and it only takes a few seconds to find it...

But still, a new search engine would be better Razz

Yes this is probably the only forum that doesn't have 'search by topic title' only, weird but it has a lot of good points forum-wise that I like.

Hahahaha awesome, thanks Rinze! Razz But you should make it default search as well. Smile This should lower somewhat double threads.

I guess that's a good idea. I also set it to use all terms as default.

The only thing the search doesn't like is underscores, and some game topics have a dir name with those as the title.

I'm not sure about the all terms... Because most of the time when I use search with multiple words, I want at least one, not all. Most forums have it on "any." [edit: nope, now that I check, it's mixed, some "any" some "all" Smile] But more opinions should help you better decide.

BTW, why are underscores not working? Is it something to do with PHP? [edit: "Battlefield_*" works, but it's like there was no '_']
