doing a search takes FOREVER......

Is it just me, or when doing a "search", it takes FOREVER to get results. When it does work, it takes over a minute. Most of the time it won't come up with anything.
Now i know it's not my computer, or internet, work perfect on any other site except this one. Speed is also not an issue. STF works fine as long as i never do a "search".
Anyone else have this problem?

I've learned to add "AND" between 2 relevant words.. makes it super fast.

Google has a pretty good search engine, I hear...

Google for "(whatever you want to know) site:shoptalkforums.com"
(omitting the quotation marks etc)

Not my invention... See Googles advanced search.

I think "can drive soon" mentioned it here first.

I figured everyone could already Google.

(I wonder if the STF could just do it automatically, legally, would make life much ... faster for a lot of folks and make life easier for the server.)
