Learning how to search MacRumors

[Garsun]

The "site search" results seem to be a bit random compared to the "similar threats" results.

Here are the results from searching for "Call failed" and "iPhone 6S call failed"

When I created a new post asking about "iPhone 6S call failed" the "similar threats" returned this result:

Much more useful unfortunately they would not have helped with my issue, but still, I would have liked to seen those types of post return from my search query.

My question is is there a better way to use the "site search" functionality to return useful results ?
I am by no means an expert when it comes to Internet searching

looks like you are searching on the news side, which is (unfortunately) not a consolidated search. It only searches news articles. If you click on the search icon on the top right of the forums, that searches the forums only -- that's where the similar posts draws from.

So, you should try the forum search and see if that is better.

Wow, Your fast
All the time I stared at that page I never noticed that little magnifying glass

Still, the results are much broader... How does "similar threats" get such a accurate selection and how can I duplicate that using the search?
