Just completed a forum upgrade that should help with finding old content on our forum. It's a fundamental upgrade to our Search feature. These improvements should make a meaningful difference in finding relevant posts and documents.
How can I tell it's working?
Go to Search.
You'll see a new option called "Search titles and first posts only" in the simple Search dropdown box:
If you go to Advanced Search and click the "Search Threads" tab, you'll see it again.
There's a whole lot of good stuff under the hood. Let me know if Search continues to work for you and if you see any improvement.
More relevant search results

For example, someone searching for "FZJ80 alternator replacement" should benefit from Elasticsearch's more flexible relevance ranking rather than relying exclusively on MySQL full-text matching.How can I tell it's working?
