Why doesn't search work?

Why doesn't the search function really work? For example, search on "horsepower golf". Nine threads will be in your result set ( maybe ten, if it picks this one up ).

Among the threads NOT in that result is this one, which contains that phrase at least twice...

The 2008 "Hot List"

Ironically, if you Google "horsepower golf", it'll find that Shottalk thread.

I always thought the search function of this software stunk which is why I have a google powered search bar on the bottom of the front page which will either search the site or the internet.

I will try to get that installed in a few more places.

Was starting to notice the same thing recently. FYI, even the one on the front page is not always completely functional Sling.

For example, when I was searching for an Iron Cover thread I created:
Iron Condoms a necessity or just a sure sign of Geekdom

I searched for the obvious to narrow it down "condom", however on either unless you specify plural, it will not find the partial word in the search. Possibly because it is part of the title???
