If I need to find something on the forum I just use google with whatever I'm searching for then add 'site:mwomercs.com'

Like this.

Pgi doesn't like people like me digging up all the mistakes and repeats of failures they've done and they've done a lot. Some more derpy than others while they try chasing that big E-spurt wet dream. At least my constant howling about a certain mistake seems to be 'fixed' in mw5 if you believe pgi's marketing. Only launch day/week will prove whether or not they 'fixed' that certain issue.

Yeah, the search is rubbish. Google is better!

That's it in a nutshell. The forum search function made it to easy for folks to find and quote back stuff the PGI staff has said in the past that they didn't follow through on or did the complete opposite of.

Either a bunch of you guys have never been on a forum before, or you just look for any excuse (justified or not) to crap all over PGI. My guess is the latter... Or both.

Most forum software has notoriously bad search functions, you are better off doing a Google search and specifying what url you would like searched in specific.

you know..... there is a difference between "having bad search functions", and "not having search function at all from months, or mpre than a year"
