Forum search does not work
Forum search has been broken since the release of GW1. Of course Anet has acknowledged this bug, but since they cannot make money fixing it, they told players just to use Google search instead.
[????] – HoD
examples:
thief in google use “thief site:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum”
to search traps for thief under the thief sub forum “trap site:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief”
If you would use the forum search, you would know that this topic was discussed for years now… oh wait!
There is a Sticky above regarding Forum Search.
Good luck.
Forum search being broken is a known issue. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Searching-the-Forums Examples in there on how to use Google to search the forums.

Actually, once a dev have said why a fix wasn’t done yet. The thing is they used a third party software that’s no longer maintained, no support anymore, and nobody from Anet has been able/have had chances to work on a fix. They don’t know its whole internal works and nobody have had chance/time to learn it and then work on a fix. Know this issue is also annoying to them. (They should put this explanation on that sticky thread btw)

Really! Strange, though, since these forums were created at the release of Guild Wars 2 (Guild Wars 1 had no official forums).
Also, the forum search did work for a period of time, broke, was fixed temporarily (twice), broke again, and was not able to be fixed after that time.
