Google search is very thorough and powerful, but it won't tell you the thread and forum of posts, can't do title searches, can't search by author, and isn't sorted by date.
Evc Forum's search function only keeps a short history in popular forums, meaning you won't find old posts. The search feature is also a cause of slow performance when posting new messages and editing old ones.
dBoard 3.0, coming later this year, not only remedies these problems, but will come with sorting features not currently available at any board to my knowledge. Once the search results appear, you'll be able to click on column headers to sort by that column. Clicking again will reverse the sort. Possible future enhancements after the release include allowing the user to select which column headers he wants, and allowing specification of more search fields, such as reply-to, reply-from, number of responses, whether edited, etc.
