1) Search.
   1a) I get the "Sorry, we were unable to find any results..." response to almost 1 in 3 searches. External search engines often offer the missing answer as the first link.
   1b) The search results page often gets stuck in a "reload page" loop.
Am I using it wrong?

2) Could "Post list settings" be saved in my Profile?

3) Is it possible to display a multi-page thread as a single page?

[quote user="a172351"]1a) I get the "Sorry, we were unable to find any results..." response to almost 1 in 3 searches. External search engines often offer the missing answer as the first link.[/quote] It's an old bug.  The reason is that, somehow, only the latest post in each thread is searched.

When this happens, the URL changes from
http://peachyforum.com/search/<searchterms>/
to
http://peachyforum.com/search/<searchterms>/?n=true

Before May 2013, the search was organized as follows.  First you would get results from Google (currently shown in a column on the right).  After getting all results from Google, you would get results from the internal search tool (this is what the parameter '?n=true' was for).  Currently both kinds of results are shown simultaneously.  So, instead of switching from the Google search to the domestic one, it just starts over.
