The solution to your problem is the "Title Only Search". See below. I have checked the box in the screenshot for illustration purposes.

99.9% of my searches are title only searches because I am always looking for threads so i search for keywords in the thread title and I always instantly get the results I am after. Just put "MAY" in the search box, check the "Search titles only" box and click search. The "Mayne Group" thread will be the first result returned.


I only use the regular search when I am looking for something someone has posted in a specific post, and these searches will almost always be accompanied by the forum member's username which is entered where it says "Member" in the screenshot above. This will search for a particular word or phrase posted by that specific member.


See where it says "Everywhere" in the screenshot above? If you click that and are searching from within a thread, you'll see the following:

You can use those options to further refine your search so you are only searching particular areas of the forum. You can even search for something within the thread you are viewing.


The search is more powerful than people sometimes give it credit for, but like all search engines you have to tinker with the options to make the most of it. If you click "Advanced Search" you get a whole array of other options.


Spend some time with the search. It wants to be your friend, but you have to explore it fully to really understand it and get the most out of it.
