It took a while. We wanted to do this a long time ago, then I forgot about it (yes, I admit). So recently I was browsing on Apple's website and I really liked how they handled their search, which "inspired" me on how we should do ours...
The search is located in the upper right corner and will display relevant results to simple search queries. It doesn't include every single thing ever posted on our site, that's why we decided to make it ourselves instead of just embedding a Google Search or something like that. If the results you are given with the search does not suit you, just click the link at the bottom of the results and you'll be taken to Google where you will see *all* results that contains your search query.
We will optimize it over time, for now we just wanted to get it out there - and hopefully this will also help new members more easily find what they are looking for, until they get accustomed to our site and how it works.

Amazing. You can even search for mobsters. A few search terms I used had no result but I guess it will be optimized depending on what kind of things people search for. If the need to search for specific brm pages does arise in the future I'll be sure to use the function and report on my success.

Posted by jessthehuman: Sweet - good one.. Although, I seem to remember there already was a fairly limited search function on this site
There's the forum search which has been there a few years. I cannot remember if we once tried to use a sitewide Google Custom Search somewhere as well.
