Forum Search is no good

When you use the Search it shows the key words in all posts and not the thread title!
How can you expect us to post less threads by this feature???
(I could not find a place for forum page bugs)

Welcome to internet forums.

Generally using google works better than the forum search function, unfortunately.

No good is being to polite!

It's awful at best, the "Advance Search" isn't any better.

According to Brett, that's vBulletin's fault, not FD's. It's been brought up before, and we were more or less politely brushed off and told to go complain to them instead.

You're probably looking for this.

Forum Support & Feedback

It's buried a bit. You have to go all the way back out to the root level of the forums to find it.

I really do not appreciate all the sarcasm. It is pointless. Here are my results on Win7, IE11: -
