Why can't search be as good as the "New Post" suggestions?

[Jofaba]

I've since given up using the standard "search" option on Ubuntu forums. The better way to find what you need is to go start a new thread. But you don't actually start a new thread, you just type in your problem into the "Title" and when you click enter, it gives you a list of threads that are similar to the one you're about to make.

This method of searching gives MUCH better results than the other way. Is there a way to impliment this either as a replacement or at least as a secondary option when searching the forums? It feels akward using this as a workaround, though I'm pretty glad it works.

Thanks, and now I'm getting back to my problem solving =P

That's an excellent suggestion. I don't know if it's possible to implement it though...it's up to ubuntu-geek to figure it out I suppose.
