Is it just me, or is it very hard to find using the search function patterns in the forum:
like:
"check hard disk"
search will check afterwards only for "disk"
instead of posts where all three words are met.
can we get an improvement ?

I would tell you that you need to search better (this problem has been reported and explained many, many times) but since the search sucks, I doubt that you would be able to find it... 
Do what most of us do. Use google advanced search with "only return results from" forums.gentoo.org

Moved from Gentoo Forums Feedback to Duplicate Threads, we're working on a new search engine which should make searches more user-friendly. Please have a look at these topcis for more information on the search function including why we strip some search terms:
