Hmm, well, it would have to be in the title for a title search to work. I just tried it myself and got no results as well, even using different keyword combinations for cracked frame, Miyata. Searching the body returned too many results, too, so I know how you feel. I don't know when it's going to be 100%, though.

Got this by searching posts for "cracked miyata" (w/quotes): http://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=5930804

Why doesn't our search utilize operators, as other vbulletin forums do?

knowledge is power.

Google's search is much better anyway. Just put "site:bikeforums.net" in the search string. Or use the "Search only on current web site" button if you have the google toolbar.

site:bikeforums.net miyata cracking (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=site%3Abikeforums.net+miyata+cracking&btnG=Google+Search)

This returns results with "cracking", "cracked" and "crack", too.
