What!?!? it's captchaed now? Sorry, that's just wierd; I can see captchas for registration, but why is it harmful to have bots searching?

OK, just tried, and no captcha here. You sure on that? What theme?

But, yes, the google search is better in general; the forum search still has lots of use locating a post by a particular person I remember, searching titles only, etc.
