So the search function is an amazing tool,except when you're trying to find a brand with multiple,common words. I tried to look up "The Body Shop" and even tried a second time with parenthesis.Is there a way to fix this,or perhaps I'm just doing it wrong?

I don't think the forum search is that sophisticated. On some systems you can use connectors which would allow you to search for the exact phrase "body shop." The search seems to list by recency rather than relevancy also, which is a problem when you have common words too.

Yeah, and 'Search boards [this forum only],' never works for me. I literally have to use the full search function, and manually select a particular forum/sub-forum just to perform an accurate search. Inconvenient.
