The search is one of the most server-intensive features of the board, so I want it to be limited.
The keyword length limit is an idea stolen from other forum search scripts. 
Perhaps we should have a big list of useful/popular threads, all organized into categories, all on one page. The user could scroll through, or do a Ctrl+F, to find what they want. Anything they can't find on the list could be searched for. It would be "cleaner" than having tons of sticky threads. 4 stickies per forum is like the maximum, IMO. 
Erm well perhaps some sort of FAQ question page ? Some Kind of seperate Forum with a modified page view. Or perhaps something where you can do a slowly refined search from a database . i.e. Is your query to do with the Sponsor, A Msgplus Feature, or Other Messenger related Query.
Well that proberly makes no sense to anyone but me but if ya get what I mean it'll proberly work quite well
