What problems are you having with the search. If I type in "Academy AND Bronco" I return about 87 posts. It is possible to refine the search further from that return screen including sorting by date and relevance. Let me know the specific problem you are having and I will see if there is a solution.

Cheers, Aaron

I would agree - I wanted to give Squadron a warm fuzzy and thought to just add to an existing string, but gave up with the "new and improved" forum and after 15 minutes of rooting around trying to figure out how to do it.

The search function, to put it bluntly, sucks. A harsh word, but there it is.

Search results also seem to come back in no particular order. I will try to find something that I read relatively recenty, so put in some key words, but the returns are dated 2004, 2007, 2004, 2006, etc. Would be great if they could be set to display in order with the most recent first.

i use it all the time  but... it would be nice if it was more refined  (UNLESS I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG)  i was looking for info on the academy  1/72 ov-10 bronco  so i typed in both key words academy and brnco  i came up with 1944 pages of  posts 

this is because it search for and found either  word  instead of Both words

it would be nice to update search to include the option AND

i am a member of many many forum both model and non-model  and many have the search  as i said  above

 

and if i am doing something wrong  clue me in     and i am sorry for this bit of critisizm
