Googled around, and found this post on another Zetaboard forum:

I have had several members report that the search function is not working properly. I have put in a support ticket to zetaboards about this. Having looked on the support forum there is currently a mass server migration going on with zetaboards as they have/are upgrading servers so it may well be that this is just a temporary glitch while all the moving is going on (way too techie for me!)

If you also experiencing problems with it then please know it is hopefully already in the hands of the zetaboards techie gurus who will wave their magic wands, speak some geek & fix it!

The reply from the techies:

Hello,

Your board, along with other boards on your server were moved to a new server machine. We are currently moving all boards to these new machines which are faster, safer and better able to handle our future development plans. As a consequence of this move, there are several issues that we are aware of including the Search feature. Our developer is aware of this issue and will be looking into repairing the Search feature as soon as this move is completed. We appreciate your patience. For more up to date information, please keep checking our Service Announcements forum on the Support Board. As we have more information on this issue and any other move related matters, we will update everyone in that forum.

Meanwhile, try this workaround using Google:
Code: type something like this into Google

I've always found that to be better than the built in search function anyway.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

We should move to a forum that uses 21th century software. We might even be able to migrate existing posts.

I typed out a post earlier saying the same thing, but I guess it didn't make it through.

We've had posts before about how to use google's superior search, so I'm surprised people are still using the zeta search.

You type "site:url" followed by your search. Try, for example:
