Search problem...

Forgive me if this issue has already been reported; I certainly can't seem to search for it!
So, there's a little box labelled "Search Forums", right? Only when I search for something, say the word "game", I get a page that says "Sorry, the search found no results". Only, I can see the thread I'm searching for, right there! In fact, there are plenty of threads with the word "game" in them. :P
Search is broken. Fix it. It should look something like this; "SELECT * FROM forums WHERE topic LIKE '%".$search."%' OR body LIKE '%".$search."%'";

Search sort of works... some of the time -- just like the old site. It doesn't seem to be able to match all search terms even when you know they exist.

Use the search up in the top right corner, that says search site. The Search Forums box doesn't seem to be operational yet.

This is pretty annoying.
But other than that, I do like the new site. It has a lot of potential.

Yes, when 'all forums' is checked, no search results are returned. When a forum box is checked, no search results are returned. When 'all forums' and a forum are checked, I get search results.This is pretty annoying.
