Re: why does the search here suck so badly????

I actually did both a forum search & the drop down Google search in the particular instance & neither one gave me a satisfactory result. I do usually get a better result from the Google option.

I don't even know why the forum search still exists as it is totally useless IMHO & to make matters worse it is the default & all a new poster is likely to try.

I realize I could have gone to the Opera site, but why should I have to do that?? I knew the cab was posted here because I downloaded it from here when it first came out.

What was really annoying was when the search finally did give me something Opera related, but even though i typed in Opera Mini 5 at that point, it linked me to a sticky in the software section that was OM 4.2............

I search on different sites all the time at work with no problems whatever, but this is BY FAR the most worthless user unfriendly search I have ever come across....hands down.

A new poster is never going to figure it out in their first postings & then the a-holes here (like the one in this thread) will slam them for "not searching first" instead of trying to help.
