I'll be the first to admit that this is probably just my obsessive-compulsivness talking, but I think it make much more sense to have the items listed under the "Search Forum:" menu in alphabetical order as opposed to their current "confusing" configuration.
Just my $0.02.

Sadly, the board software lists them numerically by their creation date. Stupid ? Yes. Can I fix it ? Not likely.

A tip though is to never search from the main page. Go to the forum you want, and click "search" from there.

As numerous members have let me know in the past my searching efforts are not always as productive as they could be, partly because i don't always know what forum I need to search in(how is one to know that the question they have regarding ground clearance issues with tire size was covered in parts and accessories 4 monthes ago, as searching 4wd and Suspension forums revealed nothing?[an example, not meant to represent an actual search...]). Perhaps a "search all forums" could be added(and used)?
Such a feature would also allow some members to chide others about their lack of searching, seemingly a favorite activity of some...(rather than not answering at all, or spending the same amout of time and effort to post an answer...). Just a thought...

I have enabled searching of all forums.
It can suck the life out of the processor though, so I may turn it off without notice.

Thank you. The easier things are, sometimes the better they are.

Thank you, I'll try to help by jumping down the throat of the first person who doesn't use this great new feature!
