The Search feature has been on the mind of the forums Administrator as well as a lot of people. Let's hope it to be the next feature implemented whenever funds are available.
BTW here is a wish list for the forums:

I think I read somewhere during the transition from the previous forum to the current one that eventually there would be a 'Search' function enabled just like the old one where you could do a search by name, subject, etc. Is there any progress being made in getting this? Also, I think it would really be time saving to move the 'Jump to Page' selection to the bottom of the page, or at least add another selection link at the bottom. After scrolling down the page and reading the threads, you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page in order to go to the next/previous page. No complaints, just passing thoughts.
