    Alright I'm usually pretty good with using search and whatnot, but this one has me stumped. I noticed my name was in the credits for the 9000BC-Lite app and I can't remember why... I don't even remember posting in the topics, so I'm trying to search.

    For keyword I put "9000BC" with "search titles only" and I put my user name in the "search by user name" field but I don't get any results... is there a better way to do it?

    Try "9000", works like a charm!

    Most forum search engines suck, I had a real hard time searching Alive-4Ever...

    Strange... maybe he was just glad to get some Twitter followers.

    Easiest way to search these forums IMO is to search the name of the thread you want in Google and add Touch Arcade after it, you'll usually get the results you want.

    Fun Fact: If you use the search box on the front page it does this by default, and works tons better than the forum search since it will search everything on the forums and front page at the same time.
