So I am guessing that you are looking for more of a 'search by tag' function? Unfortunately, as Constantine points out in the following quote that was taken from this thread, the largest issue for any search function in the forums would be the lag, which is something that this version of the site is not able to handle well.

I've brought this forward to Niet, and unfortunately, the situation hasn't changed. Adding this in will be problematic for the server in regards to lag. As I said before, we have a mod tool that allows us to search forum posts - it lags when we use it and that's only a few moderators using it sparingly. Multiple people using something that is multiple search filters etc, will more than likely cause sally to K.O, or rather make it so that it's not even worth it as it slowly loads up. Relaying from Niet; this is something that has happened before due to this being done in the past when we wanted a forum search. The result was the situation above, the lag.

However, there might still be another way to organize the trade forums that would not cause such issues. I'm not so sure how that would be laid out at the moment. Sub-forums of 'LF:' and 'UFT:' might be something interesting, but I imagine that issues of threads that are not quite either would arise, and having many sub-forums would cause it to look rather cluttered. Perhaps with a little bit of exploring of the alternatives to a direct search bar, a helpful resolution to the problem can be found!
