I haven't been able to get good results from the vBulletin search in a few years.
I also search google like this.
"my search term" vbulletin.com
You don't see hidden forums which is annoying, since most the bugs are reported in there, but it's at least a start.
The built in search should work much much better, there is no excuse for it not to.
as for the "you're doing it wrong" remark..
users shouldn't have to know some special shortcut to search, they should be able to put a term in the search box and get results.
If we as admins are required to go to advanced search and enter are terms a certain way, what makes you think the users will do the same.
