i still use the default nokia web browser. I have firefox but it's only good for youtube, any other flash website and it seems to just give up or crash. Ashame, cause I really like firefox and use it a lot on the PC. Google Chrome looks promising but after someone mentioning on here it crashes as well, I am just going to avoid it until someone can actualy make a stable and worthwhile web browser.

Or just buy some glasses in case u need them
If all the people who posted telling users to use the correct search actually did something about the pisspoor state of the default search on this site then perhaps they'd be able to spend less of their time being rude to new users.
Just a thought.

It returns exactly four threads with the word in the title, with the original one in second position, this duplicate being third, and the two others much further down the page.
Which means that a basic search *before* creating this dupe would have shown the existence of the original in plain sight, as the first or second hit. Moreover, I just tried creating a new topic with "Chromium" in the title, and before I could enter a word it displayed a list of similar topics, in which the original comes first with its 189 posts.
So yes, forum search is not always very effective for difficult queries, but in this case your argument is hot air: it's just the chair-to-keyboard interface being exceptionally dumb.
