Rant on:

Rant one: why doesn’t search function work? I complained about this years ago when the area first opened. Example: Go to the 3Ds Max forum, type “fur” in the search field… wait… wait… NOTHING! Now type “hair"… wait… wait… LOTS OF HITS! Now look at the headers in those search results.... How many times do you see the word “fur” in the headers???

Rant two: Why is the search box at the top of the page in major sections and at the bottom of the page in topic sections? Is Autodesk intent on ignoring ALL UI conventions, or are they just doing that in 2010 Design?

Now I remember why I rarely come here looking for answers.

Rant off.

PS. My apologies to all the hard working people who put so much effort into answering questions. You guys rock. It’s the frustration I get coming here looking for question topics that I know must already be answered that makes me crazy!

Problem is it’s from the whole site including blogs, but it does at least find them.

I´ve been using google for a while to search inside forums instead using forum’ search engine, it’s great tip and work

There seems to be a search box at the homepage...but it is still a beta...and its very usefull, and efficient too!

i guess they had put an end to this search massacre :P
