I just noticed this, when I wanted to find a old post on a tutorial I liked, I couldn't find it through the search engine. I was just wondering if it would be possible if the search engine could cross refrence key terms of the forum through comments and the actual title to give the best and closest results, instead of searching the word for word title. I could look into it if necessary, I just find it a little annoying when I can't find old forum posts. Thanks.

Check your posts or the poster's list of posts, depending on the poster.

Im sorry but that makes no sense to me.

You know you can scan thru every thread you've opened right?

Yeah of course... thats not my point.
Ive opened hundreds maybe a thousand threads before. How can I find one that I read 2 weeks ago if I dont remember the name?

Would you like to do all that coding? If so, be my guest. If not, then you can look through your posts.

Laziness or lack of motivation on your part hardly calls for the search engine to be overhauled to fit YOUR specific desires.

Try to get in the habit of using the exalt+1 button on things you like, then they will appear in your exalted threads (as opposed to subscribed threads). Thread lists like that are going to be sortable in the future too (by forum, date, etc).
