After you do a thread-specific search you get the results that direct you to exact posts. You can click on each results to read that post and go right to it, you don't have to go back and try and find it separately.

I'm confused with the search - are some terms not search-able?

I've been trying to search "drive" or "driving" but no matter how i set the options in the search, i get the old "No topics or posts met your search criteria"

I'm snowed - whats going on? I feel like i've been taking crazy pills.

Yes, drive and driving do not return results from the Forum search.

The way the search works is that it will exclude words that appear too much.
Since those are very common, they get excluded.
Otherwise you would get a zillion results, which is useless.

You can try using the Google search of the site, sometimes that will give you better results:
It's search from the "Home" menu or:

No, it's huge, although most are really common words like "its" and "the"
