Okay, silly thing, but it seems like most of the stuff on the forum will NOT show up for me when using the search function. For instance, let's say I want to find a person who's done some RWBY character stuff, like hairs and skins, but didn't put them on the download page. I type "RWBY" into the search box on the main page......and nothing shows up! Yet I can find links on various pages and downloads linking to forum posts with "RWBY" plastered all over the place, so I know the content does exist in the forum. I'm kind of confused here. ^_^;

In general: be cautious about using the Search box. By default it's a contextual search which can only find things within the current "branch". If you run a search while looking at this current webpage, then you'll find only a few RWBY items which have been posted in the Help subforum. If you run the same search from the Undertow homepage then you should find 10+ pages of results, because that's effectively a "global" search.
I would encourage you to visit the Search webpage instead. You'll have much better control over the scope of your search, and it also gives you access to the Tag lookup feature (so that you can easily find material which has been tagged with <rwby> or <blonde hair> or <bondage> or whatever).
If you get accustomed to using the small Search box then you'll probably sometimes forget about its contextual limitations (i.e. you'll submit a search from your "random" current location instead of returning to the homepage before searching) and so you'll end up missing out on some of the material that you had hoped to find.
