What you can and should do, is google what you are searching for, and add the wrod rollitup, and a comma.

Might work, but iffy for newer stuff since Goog does not index everything right away.

I say, fix the search. This will cut down on a lot of threads and questions about things that have been asked a million times.

I haven't had any problems with it. Make sure you use the search tags box, not the search forums box.

WRONG! Google takes one second. Yesterday, someone asked a question on this site about Hydroponics and Mollassas, so I googled " Hydroponics, Mollassas, rollitup" and his posted question was the first hit!
Try it, go to a thread, type in elephants, tigers, and lions" on a post. Then google , elephants, tigers, and lions, rollitup" and that post will come up first.

You would think so, but if that were true, searching right now for "elephants, tigers, and lions, rollitup" would reveal your post, but I don't see it.

You might be right, or just lucky. I've run many websites, some get indexed right away, some take a week and some NEVER do.

Like I said, doing this works, but it would just be better to not have to leave the site in order to search it.

I've never been on a forum with an enabled search function that did not work.

As for using the tags box, this relies on people using the right tags in relation to their entire thread.

Many times, threads get off topic, but the OT info might be of use to someone. Since its OT, Doing a google search, as I showed with Roseman's post, or a tag search would not reveal this info, since the tags would not be applied to the OT information.

Not a big deal, it would just cut down on repeat questions, and there is no reason not to have it anyways.

Ive gave this some thought & the only reason i can see for the search function to be the way it is would be to keep post count as high as possible,increased traffic means increased advertising revenue .

Not that its a bad thing but i do believe the search engine here is screwed up by design.

I tried it and you are right, but I swear it worked two days ago. Two days ago, I googled searching for an answer to a posters question, and the first google hit was his posted question .

I apoligize for posting a wrong response.

I wouldn't say you were wrong. I'm sure your not a liar lol, Google just indexes on seemingly random intervals, sometimes they are quick, sometimes slow. No one (out side of google) knows how they work for sure, its all speculation.

I work for a web hosting company, so I'm pretty similar with this stuff, though I'm sure if we had to compare knowledge of Weed in all its aspects, you would win. haha.
