Okay, I often have to look through all of the topics on the forum (or at least in a certain section of the forum) in order to see if there's already a thread on a certain topic before I start one about it. For example, I had to check through all of the topics already made in the "Suggestions" part of the forum for something involving "Similar Topics" before I made this thread. Using "Search" doesn't really help much either most of the time to resolve this problem (for you can't necessarily find everything relating to a topic when doing so), not to mention that using "Search" is already confusing enough IMO (just tried searching something rather general as a test and didn't get me very far). So, my question is: Is there a better way of finding out if there is already a thread(s) based on a specific topic that someone might consider starting without having to look through every single topic on the forum before doing so?

If it's not on the first page, make a new one. I can't stand it when people bump topics that are months old, and it happens regularly on here.

Oti, the search is bad.

The search works great for me. The problem must be the user.
And I mean the proboards search function, if anyone is confused. The Google thing at the bottom is... no.
