Search thread title only?
is there a way to search just thread titles? the search is otherwise useless for finding anything as it brings back so many unrelated results

well they should be helpful, people should write the thread title about what the thread is about, that way others know what it is before reading it.. i HATE people who just put "need help" as the thread title cuz then you have no idea what its about..
this site has so much great information but its 99% unaccessable because of the god awful search, its such a shame..

Oh I see a pattern here...

Hi,
To the OP -- this is (at least) the third time you've started a thread on this topic -- please do not make duplicate posts.
To refine your search you can add additional words and select the option to Search for all terms".
Your method only works if all the thread titles are accurate and descriptive, and since they are what they are, I think we'll stick with what we've got, thanks.

Over at Widescreen Gaming Forum the Advanced Search allows
* Search topic title and message text
* Search message text only
* Search message title only
It is driven by phpBB, like spcr.
Being able to search by title only would certainly be more convenient. Is there any reason to not give us the option?
