Love the site, but. . .

the Search function is awful.

Let me again say that I really do love the site. It's great.

But, also again, searching is much too difficult. We don't have the option to search by title only, nor can we sort forum topics by number of replies. So when I search for "motivated sellers," I get 17 PAGES of results, 95% of which have NOTHING to do with motivated sellers but just happen to contain the words "motivated," and "seller" in the same thread.

The same issue applies to blogs. How do I find a blog dealing with short sales without spending an hour flipping through pages? There is no way to do this without having to swim through a bunch of completely irrelevant information.

I know I can be a bit brash, but I am going to say it again. Really love the site. But at some point, the time is going to come to rise to the next level, and it just can't be done by ignoring the importance of the search function and how difficult it is here.
