Trying to get the old forum search to work right took me two whole days
Honestly, I wanted to find a thread from last year about custom user titles. The built-in search here kept giving me stuff from 2010 or nothing at all. I tried every trick I knew, like using quotes and minus signs. Ngl, I finally got it by searching Google with 'site:chatterlounge.com' and the exact phrase. Has anyone else found a better way to dig up old posts on this board?

The forum search works fine if you know how to use it. You need to filter by date range and maybe the specific sub-forum. I found that custom titles thread in five minutes just by setting it to show results from the last year only. Google is a workaround for people who don't know the advanced options.

That site: trick is the only thing that works for me anymore. It feels like every search function on the internet is getting worse on purpose, just to make you click more ads.

Honestly, I've started using that trick so much I'm worried my search history just looks like a list of websites followed by a colon. Like, I'm not even searching for things anymore, I'm just typing addresses I half remember.
