As far as I heard there was something like database storage problems involved. So the search function isn't fully operational, but it works.

Just use Advanced Search and set in some more specific paramaters and it works.

All-caps thread titles are annoying.

I suppose it's more of an art really. You got to have some practice and know what you are doing.

For example try and search for things in the first post of a topic only. Searching in a specific subforum or specific user helps too.

Lol....Well you know, that's what I made the strategy index for? You know, the big sticky topic in the KP deck thread?

It has a mana burn section and you can also Ctrl+F the page and search for words or certain cards, that's why I added tags to them.

You can do it with Advanced Search too, but it really isn't needed for this one. Also I tried it for the words "mana burn" too, but it doesn't work. The databse storage space is not enough so the search is bad. It's more of a hit and miss thing, but if you search for a certain user, it works.

Searching for words in posts/topics/titles does not work. Every other kind of search does work, such as View New Posts.

Aha I see. Well I guess that is what takes up most of the databse storage. Ok, cool, glad to know what's going down.
