Trying to find the Burnout Paradise topic and for some reason the search function just doesn't seem to want to acknowledge we have a topic about it (I know we do). Seems to do this for every thing I search for.

I always have more success with the search button than the search box, and choose search in titles only, normally does the job. Saw u playing it earlier, u goto Big Surf Island? Tis a good bit of DLC and the car rocks.

I use the button, not the box. Type your search term, click "topic titles only", narrow down by forum and search. Works every time for me.

Id say the box is redundant, unless it uses the forum search function (which works). Wonder if it can be tweaked to always search in titles and use the proper site search?

The search box would be more redundant as of late because we changed the forum url to gs-f.co.uk and so search engines will start to index this url and possibly drop forum.gamestyle.net - which is what the box is searching for.
