For now I am using Google to search the forum. The benefit of a more comprehensive search will be less repeat posts and more thoroughly answered existing posts, resulting in happier BT'ers :) Thanks.

On Google, tpe this as your search query: "site:buzztouch.com/forum <search terms here…>" (without quotes) so for example: "site:buzztouch.com/forum Android tabBar" (without quotes) will return BT specific posts that concern the search terms (in this case, Android and tabBar).
