How often do you use the search function?

I have terrible luck with the search function. Even when I type in the exact words, e.g. Coronavirus Around The World, I almost always come up empty.

So I don’t use it often. But would do so, to avoid starting a near-duplicate thread, if it were more reliable.

I only use it to find a certain thread I know exists. Thankfully I know which main word/s to use as it's not very good. Having said that most of the search functions on other forums are bloody awful too.
