Perhaps this was already reported.
It is very frustrating that the search function does not include the thread titles! This is crippling as many discussions are indexed by the loan number in the title.
Can this issue be addressed?

Proboards (PB) are working on a new version of the forum (v6), so changes are certain I just don't know what any of them are.
With Search; there are two, a simple one sitting at the top of each thread on the right, and an advanced one when you click the button on the toolbar near to the top-left of the screen.
The other thing is that you can't search all words, by that I mean some words are not indexed as they're too common (though you may get some results but they won't be very reliable). So try to use a slightly unusual word when searching. There have been some issues with indexing, from time to time I've had to ask PB to re-index the whole forum.
I've ended up using google etc. before now.
Here's a list of the non-indexed words, that is words where you're not meant to get any results (I'll have to test if this link works)
it's a longish list ...

DFL017, mtah987 for instance. There is also a search thread title option. Remember you need 4 characters for a search to work, so 336 will get nothing, #336 will get the AC loan thread

Remember you need 4 characters for a search to work, so 336 will get nothing, #336 will get the AC loan thread I did not know there was a minimum of 4 characters for a seach to work. Is that a Pro-boards feature? My comment is from 2018 but the issue is still there. Right now if you go to the MT section and enter 844 in the seach box it will show 4 threads but will fail to show the specific one that is half way in the first page. It will also not tell you that the seach is failing because of the minimum characters. Perhaps the minimum can be reduced to 3 characters? 844 is perhaps easier to remember than MTAH844. I did not [easily] find the search title option (Will look for it). Edit: Found the seach by title. Entering 844 in the search by title box finds nothing. I am assuming it's the 4 character rule.
