I tried searching the forum for a game I picked up earlier today and had zero luck finding anything.

Why?

Because the game I wanted to search for also happens to appear in somebody's signature (y'know in the 'currently playing lists') - and so every result was basically any+every post made by this chap... just because it had the game name in the signature.

Making the search feature next to useless for me.

Is there anyway around this? Or can we remove game names from signatures?

Are you using the external search or the internal one? If you type straight into the box above, it goes to the external one, which probably doesn't exclude signatures; but if you click on the search link below it, the regular forum search appears, which presumably does exclude them (I would hope!).

Apologies if you already knew this!

Ah, I see what you mean. I missed that. Hidden in plain sight.

I'll never use the google one again. Scrap it! ;)
