I remember posting on this forum about cloud hosting recommendations. Doing a search for 'cloud' in the search bar above only returns one forum result, nothing to do with my post.
It looks like the forum search isn't working properly - or is this by design for some reason? If it's not returning all results then it will inevitably mean that posts are repeated and questions/solutions duplicated, which isn't great.
Also, it would be really nice to be able to find all posts by a particular user as I often 'lose' my old posts, knowing that I'd asked a particular question not so long ago.
As you've already found, Google is great for searching he forum, and it picks up our.umbraco posts very quickly (this thread was already in 35 mins after posting!)
You could have better luck in google with queries like this
intitle:cloud site:our.umbraco.org/forum
Which will obviously search all forum posts with "cloud" in the title, you can remove :intitle for more general full-text search you can use intext: or just leave it out altogether. There's some handy operator tips at http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html#intitle
Forum search not returning results
Hi,
I remember posting on this forum about cloud hosting recommendations. Doing a search for 'cloud' in the search bar above only returns one forum result, nothing to do with my post.
I googled, and there it is (along with lots of other similar posts): http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/4020-Cloud-hosting-with-full-trust

Yeh, the search does seem to miss a few things.
