The 'third party' Forum Search feature seems unable to search old threads properly. It used to be fairly easy to locate posts using remembered vocabulary and the poster's name. What has happened?
I have quoted philosopher/historian John Ralston Saul quite often over the last 4 years, mentioning his name. And yet a search for "Ralston" gets only one hit. How come?

That's a google problem not an RHP problem?

But I doubt there is a better...
If RHP built their own search system it would be far more efficient and generate much more accurate results. However, it would be quite a big drain on database resources and would only work well if the database was well organised.
