The Search Bar

How about...

• When I click on the search bar, it clears the 'Search Forums...' text.
• Some autocomplete feature?

Agree about the first part. Pretty sad that this isn't done automatically.

Also, how about a better search engine? The results I get are so meaningless and useless. I have a much better time simply googling with the "site" keyword.

Agreed. I was going to mention to build a more robust search engine, but that's quite the endeavor. Maybe some mods/addons to vBulletin can improve the search capacity?

Under "Search" there is a Google custom search.

It used to by default. I have mentioned this in another thread...I know the Admins have been working on things including those menus so it's likely something that will get fixed shortly.

Ditto on that... very annoying.

+1. Anything to make the search feature more usable will make everybody happy!
