These boards are getting pretty huge, which is cool and all but I'd love it if the search feature received an upgrade so we could be a little more exacting in our searches. If one is trying to dig something out of the archives it can get very difficult as your essentially trying to think of a single word that would have been used on that thread but on almost no other threads. If we could put sentences in quotes and have searches that only include both word X AND word Y this would make the search feature much more powerful and therefore useful.

Multi-word searches (but not quoted strings) do work now, and I had a discussion with Gary just last week about making the results a little better, so you might see some small improvement soon.
A more significant rewrite is on the to-do list, but there are a *lot* of features above it.
If you have particular need of advanced search features, the best short-term solution is probably to search in google, adding "site:paizo.com" to the query.

Thanks for the tip Vic.
Searching is a pain. Someone posted their own stats for a DnD 3.5 Mi-Go about a week or two ago, and I'll be damned if any search I come up with locally can bring it up.

Worked like a charm! Got it in the first try! Here
Though, in fairness to the Paizo.com search feature... It really did pull up this thread, so my feedback is flawed. I guess the only thing I can say is that I didn't recognize what I was looking for from what the search engine was showing me.
