Max, I have come to the conclusion that most are to lazy to click on the "Advanced Search" link under the regular search box when using Aces High message board Search feature
if they would only just click on that "Advanced Search" link and setup the Search to search a particular area/ forum(s) etc.... then Aces High message board Search feature is very quick in response on showing threads and/or posts that are valid to the search in question!
the options to use or not use are almost limitless
most who try to use it do not realize that by not using the Advanced Search and setting it up to search in specific areas or for specific words or specific member's usernames who have made posts, or even set the number of days from 0 to since the message boards came on-line, again, they don't realize that the search feature is scanning through every single thread and post that is on the message boards since the beginning, if they are using the Simple Search function and not using the Advanced Search link and adjusting the options available....

^ This is why they complain about it
edit: what most use ---> Simple Search

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=search;advanced;search=;search=then uncheck the All box and click on the + sign to maximize the "Choose a board to search in, or search all " drop down list of all forums, then check only the appropriate forums that you think what you are looking for might show up in, and also adjust the number of days to look through default is set at 0 to 9999 days ( if I am not mistaken "0" means Today )
it is very simple and thorough
Hope this helps
