Forum Search function is useless :/

I’m trying to find the posts about “artifacts” on forum. I see in “Viewing results” that a post with this word is on page 775 in “Recent posts” category, or on page 27 in “Bugs Reports”. So I use these links but there is no posts that I’m looking for on these pages.
I don’t know what I do wrong?

How can I find direct links to interesting posts?

Hi guys,
I don’t like to comment on specific release dates, but I can assure you that you will see a major update to our forums that will address the search issue, and a host of other improvements and features in the very near future.

Thanks for being patient, I understand this has been long overdue, but you won’t have to wait much longer. :slight_smile:

I find using Google to search is the only usable way to get what I need.

use site:coronalabs.com to drill down to the site. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 33957 reply_id: 135034[/import]

@cspence brings up a very valid way of searching the forum until things get better. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 33957 reply_id: 135056[/import]
