Lightbulb Search Feature

I was wondering if there's anything that could be done to improve the search feature of AF. Like having the thread's rating determine if it shows up in a search result. 5 Star thread appears at the top of the search results, 4 Star ones next, etc. The problem I sometimes have is searching for a topic that frequently comes up. I only get 4 pages of recent threads, sometimes all from the same month. So all the threads with detailed explanations are lost, unless another AF member happened to bookmark the page previously.

Re: Search Feature

yeah I agree, I hate how when you search for a topic that has been covered in depth in the past you have to wade through all the new post thats have crap for info. it should be ranked, by maybe amount of posts or something. I'm not sure as to how it should be ranked but I think from newest to oldest is not the way to go.
