Mine uses the same basic UBB Threads forum software, just a newer version. Many features like the search function and others can be expanded on simply by settings inside the control panel that the administrator selects. All setting and features have a default setting when you purchase the software, but you have to modify them once its installed to help streamline how the forum flows and functions based on the traffic on the forum. Maybe this was never done in some areas, and just needs to be tweaked on to make it perform better.
