I can't tell you how annoying it is when I want to search for a specific thread (Word for word on the title), but I can't do it since my words are too "generic".

It's pretty problematic, since everyone labels their threads "generically". People don't name their threads uniquely, and they shouldn't have to, but it makes it very annoying trying to search for these topics.

Also, why can't we search for anything we want? I'd rather have the ability to look through thousands of topics by myself rather than have the website tell me I'm not able to.

Suggestions/changes to the site should be posted at www.planetminecraft.com/tickets. It's easier for our developers to track.

To bring it to the "last 20 posts" to get more input on the situation, probably.

This has been repeatedly complained about and this is going to be changed with the new forums when they come out, whenever that may be, AFAIK.

Yea, you can go to google and type in site:planetminecraft.com "search argument" That'll give you only search results from the planetminecraft.com domain. Really useful syntax

That's a very handy syntax, though. I'll definitely be using it a lot, but it really should just be easy on the site.

Is there any ETA on that? It seems like it's been forever.

I mean google has spent billions perfecting their search engine. You can't expect a website like PMC to have a good search engine, they just don't have the money.

Yeah, but they should have a decent one. The current one is just plain bad. I don't expect it to be perfect, just usable
