How about putting the Google "Power Search" not only on the home page but also on top of the ITT forum, and make it the default search form?

The current search engine sucks. It requires opening a new page and filling in a captcha <edit> when not logged in</edit> and making choices from drop-down lists. And the results are usually not as good as Google.

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.

I didn't realize the captcha and 'seperate page' is only visible when logged out. Still sometimes I browse through the forum without being logged in. Using the default theme that is (n810 v2).
