It does not look like we are moving back to the old inferior search. It was RCU's number one complaint from our members so we addressed it. This engine actually finds words you want. After you search you can narrow your search results by the filters on the left with a single click. You can also click the link under the search box for advanced options like searching subject or body only.

The reason you have so many answers is because it actually finds posts that have your search terms in it. The old one didn't find half the results so you had to hope that it found something you wanted but you didn't know what you might be missing.

The new one is analgous to google search. It works in similar way and it does so very fast and accurate. If you search for a term and it finds it you cannot fault the engine for not finding what you want in the top result as it looks for WORDS that match what you entered.

Also this one you can search within a forum from the forum pages and within a thread and actually find answers. the other one failed 3/4 of the time.

if that isn't enough just bookmark the old one at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/search.asp and when it fails to come up with your results use the new one. I'm sure it won't be long until the old ones lack of results become frustrating enough when you see the new one actually finds the matches and doesn't make you wait 90 seconds to tell you it could not find a word or phrase that we all know exists on rcu. Try searching for futaba with the old search. No results. That can't be good.
