FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread

The inadequacy of search is pretty disturbing. However, I may be misunderstanding how the new search works. Therefore, I will show what I did, and what results I got, in case somebody has a suggestion:

Initially, I decided to search for a CodeBank thread I have that is a small profiler class.

1) Search on my name and Profiler: No results.
2) Search on my name: Thousands of results really fast.
3) Search on my name and profile: Six results, not including the CodeBank thread.

I also noted that there is a drop down for search entire post, but there is no other option. When I click the dropdown, there appear to be two options, but since they are both flat black, I can't do anything with that. Perhaps it is black on black, but even so it isn't much use.

I then decided to try to find the class I posted in the CodeBank that I use as a base class for Excel:

1) Search on my name and Excel: Search never completes. This was tried several times with the same result.

2) Search on my name and Excel class: Search never completes.

I then decided to try to find my CodeBank thread on passing data between forms. I put the word Definitive in the thread subject, which makes for a reasonable search word.

1) Search on my name and Definitive: Six, or so, results, withe the CodeBank thread being the last of them. In other words, this worked.

Finally, since I am one of the few people who spend any time working with UDP, I have a couple UDP classes that I have directed people to over the years. One is in the CodeBank, while the other is in Networking.

1) Search on my name and UDP: No results.


In summary: I searched on four known topics from the CodeBank. One was found, the other three searches failed. If I was misusing the search feature, I'd like to know in what way. If I was not misusing the search feature, then it really doesn't work very well at all.
