Why in the good god damed hell is an option to search NOT right on top of the forums? Like EVERYWHERE ELSE ON THE FUCKING INTERNET. search within the forum you in not everything everyone has posted for 1100000 years. Search. And ps the magnifying glass on mobile lays on top of the menu. Bullshit

The search function for the torn forums has always been terribly unintuitive. There have been many dozens of posts about just how to search for things, which should be indicative in itself of where the problem lay.

Indexing forum posts like any other google search function, in my opinion, could bring increased exposure to the game as well.
IE, following the same parameters that google uses or most search engines


Spaces between phrases, use of +, - " marks etc
