How come the search feature NEVER works?
Is there another way to research a topic?
How come when I reply to a thread the thread comes up instead of a
blank message box?

Search seems to work just fine for me ( Outlook Express )
There is an option in O.E. that allows you to include or exclude the text of
the original message.
look under tools, options, send and there is a tick box called “include
message n reply”

Almost no-one here uses the cycleforums interface, so there will be
few helpful answers if any. If you want to use a web interface, switch
over to using <www.unicyclist.com/forums>. This is where most of us
feel their ‘home’ is. The search facility there usually works.
Personally, however, I prefer the search facility of Google Groups
since it is a lot more versatile, and quicker too! (Although it has
its cons as well.)

Use unicyclist.com to view the forum. It is the fastest and most user friendly interface.
If you are going to search something you know was on in the past few days, the search function on unicyclist.com works well, if not a bit slow at some times. If you are searching something older, use google groups. Google groups is faster and stores all the posts for very long time (anyone know exactly how long?). When you find the thread you want on google groups, you can click a link on the bottom of a post to view it in unicyclist.com.

Unless Google change their mind (or disaster happens): forever.
