Voila. Results.
You can also sort by date etc.
Google is better than most people think.
And yeah don't get me wrong. VBulletins search has some functions that google doesn't have.
Some
The included forum-search works much more efficient at word/phrase-based search.
Yes vB isn't the best coded forum outta there...thats why I more prefer phpBB 3. It works also like a charm for very big sites...if u know how to administer and configure it
Ok, vBulletin is there, they payed for it and we have to live with it. But sry..I don't spend 10 bucks a year. I don't need more signature-space, images or the other things..the only thing I want is the search function..and 10 bucks a year just for searching is a bit expensive at my eyes. You have than to live with double-posts from me (no..I DON'T use a fully google-search just because of the fact that the forum-included search is deactivated for "normal" users)
I spend money and work for that game...more money till now than for every other commercial game that I bought. Maybe they just should base the search also on the posting-count or make it buyable with tc (25k-50k maybe). I think that will also minimize the CPU-time because that also limits the user who can use it. I think specially the newbies need search-function...but as I said...the maker have to live with the consequences.
