The Search feature is available only to Community Supporters (folks who have donated money or time to the boards).
I keep meaning to become one myself, when I have the spare cash...

Yes, because heaven forbid that someone who doesn't donate money actually be able to find anything on these boards.

OK, fine, I understand bandwidth issues, but there are other ways to adjudicate who gets to use the search function than the old 'what have you done for me lately?' approach. Why not go by post count? How about length of time you've been a member? I just don't subscribe to the notion that this is handled fairly right now. But it is Moruss's site and he can run it however he sees fit.

As was mentioned, if you donate time and effort to bettering this site (e.g. programming and such) then you can also get a Comm Supp acct (at Morrus' discretion).
If you really want to search something, just ask a community supporter. I'm sure most of them would be happy to run one for you.

Alright, fine, you want to know where the sour grapes are, I'll spill it.
When I was with Dark Portal Games and this site needed the capitol to start up because Eric's site was going down, I opened my wallet in the name of the company and chipped in somewhere in the neighborhood of $60. Then, also under DPG, I wrote two articles gratis for the now defunct Asgard Online Magazine. Do I get any love for that? Nope, I'm just a registered user. But, like I said, no big deal. I can deal with it.

Really, if you need a search done, just ask here in Meta. Someone will either know where to look already, or be able to do the search for you.
