I have no issues with it, I use the advanced feature though. you can narrow the section to search in, and be a little more specific with it. whatcha looking for?

this is directly from their FAQs on how to use search, its at the bottom of the page

I agree the new search is total crap. IMO the old format probably had the best search out of any fporums I'm on. Now its just like all the rest.

I am with them, searching even using the advanced search as recommended... is crap.

I was trying to search for something in this forum and the drag racing forum last night... gave up after a couple attempts and google search honda-tech for it.

I agree too, the new search is crap, i use the google instead of the search and it works for me, for example if you wanna search "oil catch can" write;
oil catch can site:www.honda-tech.com, to the google bar
and it finds the related results better then the search option of the honda-tech

I second what everyone is saying. The search feature is near to none. You type something in and may get maybe if luck 2 threads that hardly relate to what your looking for.
