The search functions on forums are generally pretty ordinary.

Here's a tip I find useful sometimes: - Use Google - Add your search terms and just add vyak to it.

I'll add another tip for google searching vyak posts
If your searching for a certain members post put their forum name in the search as well as vyak.

That's true Jaryd. You can put as much information as you like into your search.

Vyak posts will almost always be the first result shown.

You can then click on the last line shown above (more results from vyak.net) and open up all the search results.

You can get even better results using advanced Google search methods, which can help find the needle of information in the haystack of rubbish.
