If there is this capability I have not located it on the site. So if there is please ignore this and point me in the right direction... It would be nice to have a Search box somewhere to view posts from certain users or the ability to just search for anything in general within the Community Forums. I.E i was looking for more information on the merit system earlier and I really spent a significant amount of time reading through stuff that was completely unnecessary. Anyhow if this does exist then can someone please point me the right way?

We used to have this feature, but it was removed because it was causing some issues with how the site ran. Hopefully it will be fixed up, and re-implemented. We get this suggestion quite a lot =)

The games feature is also working funny.And the community search never worked well.

Me?Well sometimes when I type Free Rider 2 it will show a ton of games and including Portal the Flash Game Version.It needs to be alot more advanced.

No, that's because you wrote too much. Just write "free" and you'll get lesser results, plus free rider 2.

I am pretty sure how it works, is that it will pull all the tags for the words that you typed in. So it searches titles and tags.

I think there should be a title search and a tag search so we don't get annoyed.

well it cant be much different from what it does on youtube, you can either search for the title,or you can search for the tags, but regardless your gonna get both.

Oops, I meant rider! My bad. Free gives out a lot of results. Of course, don't try 2...
