A better search function

[Kenneth]

I first hand know how annoying it can be when someone posts an exploit that already has been done or asks for an exploit that used to be on the front page and is now buried deep down the pages. But sometimes it is not their fault. The search function on the top right does not work that well. For example I just replied to a WoW exploit called "Call blizzard and get an instant response". When I go to the search function on the top right and type "call blizzard" and hit enter nothing comes up. How is anybody supposed to find anything unless they remember the exact specific exploit thread title if what I searched for did not bring up that thread. Hopefully that function can get improved.

Is there other ways to search that I am unaware of because it seems when someone posts a dupe exploit another person goes "already done posted here" so fast. But how did they search for that dupe? Did they just happen to have it bookmarked and remember or did they use a different search method because I cant imagine them actually finding it via the one on the top right.

Hope this doesn't come off so aggressive just trying to help =P. <3 this website.

People should start using tags, that'll help a lot

You can also use google to search on OwnedCore, works on all stuff that's not in closed sections like elite section etc.

Example: Let me google that for you

once again I must refer people to the stickies in suggestion section as to what you should and shouldnt do..
(replying to suggestion threads)

OP have you tried the advanced search function?

You guys should look at plugging into the ElasticSearch server. If you configure your integration correctly, it becomes one of the most powerful forum searches available (just look at what XenForo have done with it). No need to tag things to find relevant results...
