I'm guessing it's only mods but I'm just curios why of the dozen or so websites I am a part of (all of which I have total access to every post I've ever written) this is the only one that without extreme effort I can easily find all my past posts beyond the last 9-10 topics I've had a post about?
I just don't get it, is it some technical thing or something beyond that?

Re: Who is permitted to use the search function?
Nobody can search the forums. It is one of the flaws we recognize here. There are technical limitations with a forum our size that we haven't been able to address yet. When you search for specific words in a post, mysql locks the table to perform the search. This starts backing up every other request and slows down connections to a crawl. For performance reasons, we disabled searching.
