How do you find the search
 
This is not the first time...
As everyone gets pointed to the search function on the forum, I found it to be useless most times i have used it..

Right now, I know there is a thread called "What do you drive" or something similar..
Put it up in the search box and the first result page is totally irrelevant..

But it works sometimes.:D when it wants

I use:
Searchterm site:talk.maemo.org on google
e.g:
http://www.google.com/search?q=What+...ient=firefox-a
Works for me (and that's how I search all forums - got used to it for some reason)

Oh and blame vBulliten, not tmo.

The thing to use is Power Search, which is at the top of the right hand column. When people tell you to search, they mean either use Power Search or just use Google. Search itself is known to be doubleplus ungood.

Could a link to Power Search be placed in the Classic Light and Dark themes? Probably in the Search drop-down.
