No, seriously. The old UBB search engine may have been terrible unless you knew exactly what you were looking for, but the search we have now is much better.
As to your suggestion, I honestly don't care one way or the other. There is an Official Forum Feedback Thread (hey, found it with Search. Was the first result, too
)

Clearly the move from the old forum to the new has proven to be less smooth than many would hope.
What we have now - whilst potentially offering many more features - seems extremely clunky, looks awful and isn't very secure by all accounts.
There are a number of threads with good info relating to the forum - notably Philotic Knight's post but these are not contained in a readily accessible area. You have to endure the vagaries of the Search function to get anywhere and we all know how haphazard that can be.
What would cure this would be a Forum Discussion and Suggestion category, where all posts relating to the forums rather than the game could be posted - therefore hints, tips, suggestions and related discussion could be self-contained and readily accessible.
I can see the mods having a degree of antipathy towards this, since it would also allow people to post erudite and helpful discussion topics along the lines of "The Forums are [Censored]" and "Teh vBulletin is teh suxxors" but the fact they are all in the right place actually means they can be weeded out more readily if necessary.
