Exactly, dubstepforums are very basic whereas google returns its results sorted by relevance and popularity, DSF just goes by 'keyword and date'.

Just try it, type a search into dsf's default search and then type the same query into this, I bet this returns the result you were looking for faster with the same criteria.

Let me give you a practical example, Ill put each search to the test using the standard DSF search vs. the google tool.

'Mixing and Mastering' will be the keywords. Note that the dubstepforum search has returned results including ones advertising for someones club night, it's included the rap battle thread, the reason q-a thread, several different dubs threads, ect, some of which dont even have replies, all in the first 20 results. Then if you look at the same keywords entered into the Google app provided in the original post, and you will find the first 20 results are ALL production related, not to mention highly relevant to the subject, and topics with lots of responses.

Compare for yourself.

vs.

Which one has delivered a larger quantity of more helpful results?

When I made this, I hardly expected anyone would argue its usefulness. In no way are we trying to replace the forum search, look at my original post (in its edited state), Ive very clearly said that this is only here for times when the forum search doesnt help you out.
