How do you guys search these forums. As far I'm concerned its plain broken. I want to search by titles or posts if it will just lists original thread. Here it searches every post in same thread and shows all 10 posts for same thread as a hit yet it doesn't even do that well. They are all duplicate summery in description search result of original post or something. Has it always sucked this bad?
I do see search by topic but seems like I'm practically read the entire thread in search results.

I use Google. Prefix your search there with:

site:forums.eveonline.com

You can narrow searches down to EVElopedia, the old forums, patch notes, etc. using the appropriate site.

I also narrow searches by searching on my name "Cabalander". I've probably posted on nearly every topic.

This is a little outdated (CCP changed the sites recently), but will get you started:

Guess how I found the above link Big smile

When all else fails, feel free to send me an EVE-mail, or post a question in this forum.

The search function in the forums is something that has never been..great.
So if you are looking for something specific you should just use EVE Search. Its great for both older and new posts Smile
