I have found I get much more results by doing this in Google
site:laracasts.com search term
The site search is definitely not as powerful as a Google search.

Anyone else notice the search on the discussion board doesn't always pull up all the discussions?
Example: I am looking for discussions on Laravel Vapor so I search "Vapor". When I do there is only some older posts, non of which are about the correct vapor. I get the keyword Vapor is what triggered those results.
If I search Google for "Laracasts Vapor" there are 2 discussions that are about the Vapor I was looking for: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/vapor-taylor-otwell-presentation?page=1 and https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/site-improvements/laravel-vapor-queue-worker-serverless.
Both of these discussion also have "Vapor" in their title so why didn't they show up in my search on Laracasts??
This is a known issue for a long time already: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/site-improvements/search-not-giving-correct-result
