Forums search is back up with a new system I did behind the scenes.

This includes the Gallery and Classifieds search too.
They were actually up earlier and they worked fine so I redid the Forums too.

It works the same way as the old one so basically no change from how you use it.

I am going to call it a Beta right now so let me know if you have any issues.
A couple people have noticed their feedback threads were not found - I fixed this issue.

Tips:
There is a maximum of 5,000 items returned from a search with this new design but I don't think that is an issue.
I doubt anyone would search on something and look through 5,000 threads.
If that happens to me I usually just scan through a few things and either select a specific category or add more search words to limit my search further. (Hint, hint)

There are some changes to how "abnormal" terms are used, typically words with special characters in them like - or _ and maybe other characters too.
Example: 23-window or Tri-star or my_email @ mysite.com so let me know if you search on anything and don't get a result you were expecting.
