This forum search tool is so broken.

When I can't search "Jenny McJennyson" to find my own jokes, the forum search tool is beyond broken.

As a lifetime donor, you and I have the same search capability. I went to the "advanced search" tab, and entered "Jenny", posted by you, and got nothing. HOWEVER, when I searched "McJennyson", I got them all. Also, make sure you search by date, not relevance.

agreed "Jenny McJennyson" should return all threads that have those two words listed one after another.

In theory the search should find posts with "Jenny AND McJennyson" followed by "Jenny OR McJennyson" as an example.

They took Jenny McJennyson out because searching for her is redundant, since she's everywhere now.
