We have found that limiting the search to defined timeperiods and also to the Buy & Sell sub-forum provides the BEST results. You will need to use the Advanced Search function under the drop-down Search link on the navigation bar.

In the screenshot above, we have limited the search to
a) Thread titles only
b) Threads/posts that are less than one month old
c) Searching within the Buy & Sell subforum only.

Please give this search method a try and you will definitely get better results.

Note: Minimum search phrase is 4 characters, thus words like f80, 20D etc will not be found. Unfortunately, there isn't a workaround for this limit currently as we have found that enabling 3-char searches has a severe performance hit on the server.
 

what happened to our subscription list?

I just looked and they are all gone but today's are still around

if that is the case, it will be good if you can default the search fields to the ones you have stated.
