the search funtion works the way it was designed to. the problem is the person searching.
when you "search" on the forum, it looks for whatever your searching for in all posts of every thread. for instance if you type in "exhaust", every thread will turn up that if "exhaust" was mentioned in a post (now including this thread). thats why the random or off topic threads come up the most b/c people talk about everything in there.
the proper way to search is to go to "advanced search" and search for a specific topic under the title option. type in "exhaust" and every thread that has "exhaust" in the title will show up. the down fall is if that word isnt in the title it wont show up.
another way to search is by person who created the thread. down fall's are remembering who created the thread and you have to know their exact screen name.
last and final option is to go to that section of the forum, click on a sub topic, and skim through all the threads.
