Forum Search only searches titles?

Closed

Is there a reason why the forum search feature only searches the title of posts and not the posts themselves?

I'm thinking it would be exceptionally helpful, especially on SteamTrades.com, if the search included at least the original post. Otherwise, searching there for a game is only going to work if it's in the title, which means manually looking through everyone who has a list in their original post.

I'm trying to find a post that had some discussion on a game, but since the game isn't in the title, I won't find it unless I remember what the title was. That makes the search feature have very limited usefulness.

Perhaps an "Advanced Search" feature might eventually be added which could search "titles" or "titles and posts" or "titles, posts and replies" depending on a radio select or something.

Use Google, Given the Context of this site if someone Typed a games name they would get soo many Results, hence why it reads just the title.

I choose to believe thats the reason for that xD
