Forum search relevance
I am having issues with the forum search. For example, I tried to search for 1Password 2 and I got a lot of unrelated results. Basically what I got was lots of "1Password", "2", and any other combination. E.g. 1Password 4.5.2. There is a 1Password and a 2 in there.

Hi @wkleem,
Forum search engines are almost universally weak. Use Google to help:

Hi @wkleem,
If you search for 1Password 2 in quotation marks, you might get better results. That will match the search term exactly.
"1Password 2"
Using Google, like MrC mentioned, works fairly well too.
Though you probably won't find many results relating to 1Password 2, since it's so old. There's not much discussion about it here.

Thanks. I wanted to look it up as there was a discussion of 1Password and really old Macs that I couldn't find via browsing

@wkleem: Excellent! I'm glad that helped. I agree that forum search can be a bit rough. But I think the biggest problem is that even with the tricks above not everyone uses the same terminology when posting, so you really have to know what you're looking for! Google can be helpful for really powerful searches though, since they support so many options. When I'm not just doing a quick lookup I use advanced search. Cheers! :)

Let Me Google That For You might not be suitable for those who may take offense?

Bing searches. i tried Bing to find "app update" or "app-update 1Password" and could not find any direct reference that wasn't part of a discussion. I could not find this in Bing:

@wkleem: Indeed. I'm not sure what the deal is with Bing, since it comes up just fine in Google.
But that's okay. That is mainly just our release notes and version archive. We link to it in 1Password itself and where appropriate in forums, email, and on some other parts of our site. It's there as a resource, rather than something meant for public consumption. :)
