My idea to make search MUCH easier.
The only two options given when doing a search is to: 1. search the terms only in the message, or 2. search the topic AND message. I really think it would be a HUGE help if you were able to search by only topic. As someone just looking for info now, if I do a search for "phone service," I'm going to get a long list of pretty irrelevant info, most of it not discussing phone service at all.
Obviously, that leads me to ask questions in a forum, when it's possible that someone has already asked about different phone services and sparked a 1000 reply thread. And that leads someone to suggest I do a search, and we're back to square one. The topic is where the most detailed info is, and to be able to search ONLY topics for the word "phone" would give me an incredibly shorter list, be able to get me the info needed, be able to spare the forum another unnecessary post, and make everyone happy.
So, how about it?
