In fairness to John Robinson, the search function works pretty well, providing you use it correctly. It isn't absolute but it does work most of the time.

Searching on exact title usually doesn't work because most titles use words that have three letters or less. If you go to the search page and look for an exact match then you'll get no results since the three letter or less script results in no match.

Limitations: Only article titles can be searched and words with three or fewer letters are not searched at all.

A good rule of thumb is to pick one word from the title; unique words are better, and search for that as either a keyword or part of the title using that search box in the upper right hand corner on the forum index page.

I did that. However, I chose the A380 keyword rather than airbus...
