No search algorithm is going to give you perfect results- so if you don't like it, don't use it. Try more specific keywords if you don't want false positives.
Don't generalize, if you can't digest feedback, better say so. And for your information, there are search algorithms which gives much better results even if not perfect - so if you do not know does not mean algorithms does not exist. Sorry to be harsh but this is the disappointing attitude that "don't use if you don't like" - I was just trying to give me suggestions to improve the forum.

Right now the post search is frequency-based. There would be two ways to make it better: use sphinx (which we can't run together with vb3) or implement our own search using meta data. We don't have that meta data, unfortunately. But thanks for the suggestion. If you have some extra time and would like to help improve the system, shoot me a pm- I'm always open to contributions!
