Default The google search seems to be more complete

The search using the search menu searches through the actual posts only. The google search seems to include the posts' authors.

The search menu allows one to search on user name. But if the user name is no longer a valid user (ex. harveyrv) it does not work. This restriction cheapens a Site Sponsor's experience. Why can we not do such a search just because the post's author is no longer a member of the forum?

Searching on harveyrv using the search menu returns threads where harveyrv is mentioned in posts. harveyrv is in red in the posts. If harveyrv authored a post in the thread, that harveyrv is not in red. Ex. https://www.trailmanorowners.com/for...light=harveyrv

A google search on harveyrv returns https://www.trailmanorowners.com/for...ad.php?t=11172 at the top of the list when I ran it.
This thread has 3 posts by harveyrv and harveyrv is not mentioned in any post. This thread would not be returned by the search menu.
