Absolutely nothing on this board can be searched effectively within the board itself. You're better off with Google! Instead of re-structuring, they should first be looking for a better piece of software to host it.
One problem with re-structuring is that you don't want links within posts that point to other postings broken unless you are making a radical improvement (like new software). If necessary, lock the old in place and move forward with the new.
As for the structure, there really does need to be separation between NAS OS families. RAIDiator 4.1.x and 4.2.x are similar enough that maybe they can be combined. But 5.x and 6.x have little in common with any of the others. The model in the header isn't enough -- many don't use it. I'm sure plenty of users get confused wondering if a thread is applicable to their NAS or not. Answers for one family are rarely valid for another.

That's certainly true, and the the difficulty of identifying OS 5 and OS 4.1 doesn't help.
I agree there should be separation (at least OS 6 and legacy).

Very true. Though I think this creates more issues with the idea exchange than it does with the other forum areas.
