Is there any way that the search function can be improved on this site. I often see newer members directed to it when they ask a question that may have been covered previously but having just had a shufftie for an old thread myself (using various different search strings) I find it frustrating in the least. It generates so many random associations that it make's it virtually impossible to find anything specific, and that's with the benefit of loosely knowing from memory, what I'm looking for. I pity those who are trying to search 'blind'.

Maybe some helpful searching tips might be added to the bottom of the page to guide those less savvy with the wiley ways of t'interweb.
