forum search really sucks

Is it just me (possible) or are the search results for this forum really terrible over the past few days? I get the same results for different search terms, and those results rarely actually contain my target term(s).

Never mind the "normal" functionality of clicking a link in the search results, then clicking the Back button, and getting a message that the page is out of date and needs to be reloaded. No other forum sites do this to me.

(seeing these problems in Chrome and Firefox on Windows and Mac)

Yup, I figured out that workaround just after posting above. Actually I use "site: www.obitalk.com/forum". Still annoying to have to work around a broken function that works well on most (all?) other forum sites.

Agreed.

Look at the copywrite date at the bottom. This forum software version is way behind.
