    Gotta get this out of my system:
    Love the site but this bugs me a bit;
    Did a casual search for "deception" in the general forum and got hits like
    -players wall paper...
    -ebay auction watch
    etc...

    also said:
    "Showing results 1 to 25 of 348" :cool: ok.....
    I wish all those hits actually were about deception(would be sweeeet) and not about watches on ebay... If there is someone who mentioned deception in a topic about wet socks then it's somewhere amongst those 300+hits

    would love a headline search funtion...

    Sorry to hear ya sa that lol!Coz the search is pretty much complete with all types of options.You should perhaps try an advanced search and use more keywords.u can also search any specific sub-forum which makes it really easy,and i think u can also do a headline search in the advanced search option.you may be getting the wrong hits like u say but that happens most times even with google,so i am not suprised.Try using more keywords.

    duh! :p
    try the advanced search
    and then where there is a drop down that says "Search Entire posts", change that to "Search Titles Only" :)

    1. Try to pick unique word rather than general terms - Lucky u did not type "shuttle", "badminton", or "racket". :D j/k...

    2. We tend to pull threads off topic, so... :eek: :p
