It's on the right side of the page about 1/2 way down, just above Users Online. 

There is no way to search, multiple variables, like subforum, date or author.  Sometimes a better bet is to use google with Model Railroader + (whatever you want to search) as your search terms.

The better way to do that is "search terms site:cs.trains.com" - that will restrict google to just this site.

I have the right to remain silent.  By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.

Yeah. Learned some time ago to do what the above person does when using Google.

Search function here is rather poor.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Yes there is. Give it a try and compare to the Google method.

It is called, Search The Community.
