My Idea on the Searchbar

Instead of the results being exact or broad, it should be like Google, the most relevant answers coming first, and is in order of relavancy to your search.

Seriously, I don't mean to sound annoying, but the searchbar needs to be changed.

I think that they should just put it back to what it used to be like a year ago.

Any way to give it options? TGR's searchbar has an option to search the title or within the thread - I think they have the same problem where multiple words searches for just one or the other though. Quotes doesn't change anything.

If you could pick to search within the thread or the title, then had an option to search literally or for any key words would be very nice.

1) go to google.com
2) enter site:newschoolers.com + (whatever youre searching for. put it in quotes if you know of an exact string youre looking for)
3) probably find your thread


ive only used the ns searchbar when i know the exact title of the thread im looking for

That's what I use, it's a very useful tool.
Anyone that hasn't tried it should try it.
