Question about a weird trick for finding old forum posts

I was trying to find a specific 2008 post about the Denver airport murals for a project, but the site's search was useless. On a whim, I typed the exact phrase I remembered into Google with 'site:forumname.com' and it popped up instantly, bypassing the broken internal tool completely. Has anyone else found that the official search on these old conspiracy boards is basically designed to hide things?

My buddy did that to find a lost car thread.

Your buddy is smarter than me, I'd probably do that and still lose my own car.

I mean, is losing your car in a parking lot that big of a deal? You wander around for a few minutes, hit the panic button, and it's over. It's not like you left it at a different mall across town. People act like it's some huge life failure, but it's just a minor brain fart.
