I totally agree. Anyone have any tips for meaningful searches?

In my travels, no built-in forum search seems to be able to match Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc. for crawling capabilities. I have no idea why that is. Even systems that use the Solr/Lucene for their backend search implementation don't work well.
That said, if you want something that at least looks like something not from the 1990s, http://vanillaforums.org/ has been getting good reviews.
