    I know I have commented on this before but the search function on the forum is really disfunctional.  It does not show results in any sort of rhyme or reason nor can you specifically look for combinations (author plus word).  I know I started a thread a while back looking for advice on the bum slide.  The first hit came up with a thread started back on 2009 (actually called bum slide), then one from 2010 called Xpert is a slip and slide.   I cannot find the thread that I started and there is no way I can search on my own name as I will come up with hundreds of hits and most not related to the thread I am trying to find.

    I second the request for improved search functionality.

    I like to use "site:studioveena.com + <search term>" in Google its a little more helpful, but not by much.  I couldn't find any threads started by you for bum slide using Google either.

    I'm not doubting the Webmaster's ability, but I don't think he'd code his own search engine.  Super awesome if he did, but its probably a 3rd party module or external search that pops the results back into the page.  Its been a long time since I did webdesign, but I was a pretty lazy designer and used a lot of 3rd party tools, why recode the wheel if you don't have to.  Just might need some tweeking or a completely different tool.
