SMF is pretty good at search. This site can't handle a lot of traffic though, I'd guess.
It's never going to be a BGG replacement. Too, once the forum gets full enough, search
starts getting painful. There are some tools to improve performance in most cases,
but if you're digging deep, it's going to be slower.
I wish to hell I could do the listing type functionality here easily. Sadly though, that's special sauce
for BGG. I'd need to host this for real, and build a mod to do that right. The fact that BGG is so damned
useful for auctions and game related lists is why I must stop posting to the fora there. I can't afford
a permaban.
BGG could actually DO the polled lists. All they'd need is to allow GLs to be ordered by number of thumbs -
something many people have asked for.
