Why can't I find anything using the search function
For example a search on the Newmar forum for roof leaks brought up 43 pages and not a one about roof leaks. I can find more answers on the forum using a google search than a search on Newmar Forum. What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately the forum search just doesn't work with more than one search word.
Try the iRV2 Google search near the top of the page.
Search on Newmar Roof Leak.

I've found I have much better luck using the search tool found under the word "search" on the blue tool bar...NOT the search box that says, "powered by google" just above the blue tool bar.
Also found I could use more than one word as long as I used quotation marks around the words...for example..."Winnebago Sightseer".
Did you see this thread? http://www.irv2.com/forums/f103/roof-leak-259669.html
I found it by typing "roof leak".

Under Search select Advanced Search. Under the box for the search term, select Search Titles Only. At the bottom of the search page, select (Go) Save Search Preferences.
Advanced Search and quotes around the words works best for me. I use that method and found 79 threads with the term roof leak in the title.

Just easier to search this and any other forum using Google.

Looks like the Google Search function is broken.
I get this when doing a search. di filter site:google.com
Should be di filter site:irv2.com
Which if you want to search a specific site for information with google.
Then enter your search terms then at end site:irv2.com (or any other site you want to search)

I use this search function with great results.
Make sure the irv2 button is selected.
