Painful to find anything useful using the search function

[srechkin (Simon Rechkin)]

There used to be a time when I was able to easily find, using the forum’s search function, previously discussed topics on the subject and or question I’m interested in. Now, the matches just don’t seem to yield the same results. Is it me or did something change?

I feel your pain Simon.
I now just Google what I’m looking for followed by NACHI (“S-Traps-NACHI”) and it shows old forums related to the search.
I found this to be easier than the NACHI search.

[sfrakes (Scott Frakes, CMI)]

Couldn’t agree more.

Finding anything on the NACHI site, starting with the forum is difficult at best.

Yep, I do the same as Bill. Much easier

Same here, Bill.

It’s hard to use.
One trick: after the search, resort by “most recent topic”.
The default is to show old posts first, for some odd reason.

I hadn’t searched here for a bit, yep nothing seems to pop up, kind of makes me question what I’m paying for, used to be searching for ‘marketing’ would yield said topics. Looks like google going forward.

Also, make sure to refine your search appropriately. This is a pretty big forum now.
