You can do a site specific search in Google. Just prefix your search with site:BitcoinTalk.org
For example enter this into the search box

site:BitcoinTalk.org AxeGrinder

Yes, unfortunately Google is better at searching this site than the site's own search function.

I tested using my "Newbie" alt account and was able to replicate it, however this wasn't the case using my original account. It's account related (meaning you have to normally use forum and rank up, before that limitation is lifted).

- Simply lurking here (like how you've been doing since the creation of your account), isn't going to help.
- Based on the following message that I got (for my "Newbie" alt account):
Quote
"You are searching too quickly. Wait 90 seconds. (There is a Google-based search engine on the search page that does not have this limit.)"
Then waiting for "90 seconds", shouldn't be that much of an issue...

I also noticed that searching engine on this forum is not working very well. I also red about the new forum software will be implemented soon what could cure the current problems we facing with.

When you are newbie there are some restrictions until you reach higher rank then you can search all you want, don't compare every site since they have different developer and has a reason for every  rules on their site, if you don't want them then crest your own with your own rules.

Searching the forum is sometimes complicated.  You must make sure if you are not certain  of the particular  forum to get your results  from, then  click on home and do general search.

I don't "lurk" here... I'm too busy!

I have waited far longer than 90 seconds, but I won't bother again, I'll use google or something!
The reason I don't "lurk" here, is, what is the point, if I can't search for what I need...
Pretty crud hey?

Search with Google by doing what Jet Cash suggested above...

Just add site:BitcoinTalk.org right next to your query.
