Search still sucks

I'm not seeing the thread with the same name anywhere on the search results. They seem to be sorted by post date and I can't see a way to sort them back by "relevance". Plus unregistered users are still not allowed to search at all, which I'm sure is really annoying for them.
Can't we just make the search box simply redirect to a google.com search with site:what.thedailywtf.com prepended? Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one.

INB4 condescending post by @ben-l about how you're an idiot for not using quotes / searching by titles and not titles and posts.

@aliceif Hah! The condescending post will be from @ben_lubar.
I tried searching only titles and it didn't come up that way either at first. It doesn't seem to have any way to sort by match quality / relevance.

I don't know if searching sucks. The page just loads forever when I try opening the advanced search, or submit any text to the normal search.

Wouldn't allow you to search categories that the GoogleBot can't see.

@anotherusername I guess... but it'd still be better than what we have.
Make it so you can still access the "real" search page somehow if you want to.
