Anyway we can get the "My Posts" page to refresh the search more frequently so that we can get updated results? I list to see threads bold AND move up the screen if possible without too much of a strain on the server.

btw - what open source search programs do we use here?

This happens because vb only refreshes searches each hour.

"In order to conserve resources, vBulletin will allow search results to be shared among users for one hour. The downside of this is that search results can appear out of order if a thread is updated in the interim."

If we disable this, it will make the site less efficient and put more of a strain on the server. However the new Title Search and New Posts are not affected by this limitation.
One thing you can try is going to your profile and clicking on "My Posts" there. This is a slightly different search and should produce more up-to-date results. But if you do it twice in a row you'll likely get the same results.

None of our search code is open source.

The old search still works. You can also search any forum just like before.

I mean "title" search.

You go to the forum in question and there's a link to search that forum at the upper right.

Thanks for reminding me to delete that link. You get a maximum of 100 results on the title search. All the more reason to be specific in your searches and in titling new threads.
