    How about adding a forum search option for the 'exact phrase' I am looking for.  today I wasted time 4 or 5 minutes searching for "bad drop" after hitting water off the tee and getting a drop in a 15-20% lie in sand.  I've seen a similar option on government websites.  Surely if a government agency can have this in their search options WGT can do it.  please do it.  This is not the first time I've had trouble finding information.

    hi

    search sucks. i'll be the first to admit it. but, not much we can do about that since it's part of the community site software and does not depend on us :(

    Then why do alot of people as well as WGT employees tell new people to use the search feature?

    Try bad+drop.

    Yep! A big problem with search engines is most people don't know how to use them, and the search refining symbols like =, - ,*, etc.

    Shouldn't then the site give detailled instructions on their search function? (Do they? I didn't find it under "Troubleshooting")
