search limitations

I've always considered searching previous solutions as the best way to solve problems, but Zoringroup.com/forum makes that just about impossible to do!
a sample search don't know how to search zorin forum returns zero results

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: search forum don know how zorin t to.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

1) it doesn't limit "common words" to 3 or less characters.
2) it doesn't recognize apostrophes in words (don't was picked up as don and t
3) quotes are ignored so I can't search for an exact phrase
4) I believe I previously read that this forum allowed + or - to include, or exclude specific words, but that doesn't work either.

as an added hurdle, even just scrolling through the previous posts, page , by page is frustrating, rather than show the Announcements once on the first page of each subforum, it takes up HALF OF EVERY SINGLE PAGE, with out the ability to at the very least, increase the number of post per page to more than 25!

(I'm guessing "feedback" is the best location for this)

Thanks for listening to my rant
Mucho thanks if it can get fixed ;-)
