The main Forums Search box (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories) seems to be missing a lot of posts from its index.
For example, if I type thumbnail proportion factor I would expect to get this thread since all of the words are there:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressvcs/thread/efa4cd12-3bf7-40b3-9daf-9f78da4ea21e
I get no results. Even more surprising, a direct search for the thread title also does not come back with that thread:
Correct direction (size) of image thumbnail
This is not the only example of problems with the search. I think there might be something significant going on here. I think it is important that this search be comprehensive to be able to find solutions to obscure problems that others have
solved in the past.
