Guild Wars 2

Its a basic tool that should be effective.

Search now applies to titles instead of random words in a post.
Search has filter for most recent, most views/posts, most upvotes.
Search can accept some keywords to narrow it down.

Please update this.

Search has been broken for months.

Also, every game forums I’ve been too the search engine was terrible as well.

I doubt it. Whatever underlying forum software they are using is where the problem is. Porting the forum database to a new forum software is the kind of operation that terrifies a CS department. Forums were down for four days to do the port.

Of course there is a chance that this forum software was home grown, in which case it’s an internal manpower issue to assemble a better search function as well as getting the RSS and Subscribe feature to work. If it was home grown there’s a possibility that the original developer is gone and the code is a fugly mess that no sane programmer wants to be saddled with.

I use Google by adding “site:forum-en.guildwars2.com” to the end of the search parameters.
