I try to use the "search" at the bottom of the page, and I just get the same results as I would with Google. Then I try the "Search" at the top bar and my key word just generates random forum posts that have nothing to do with what I'm looking for.

Specifically, I'm trying to figure out if a publisher has an existing thread on the BR&BC thread so I don't create a duplicate.

Do an Advanced Search for the name, selecting only the Backgrounds forum to search.

i think it's being worked on...

I posted a little while ago about it: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184616

you can try:
http://www.google.com/sitesearch/

OR

# Site Specific Search:
Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier.

Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

Yup, and once in the Index thread, just use the "Find on page ..." function of your browser (Ctrl+F, usually) to hit on occurrences of a name/keyword.
