I just tried to search the Clerk forum on a missing membership number. The reply was that "membership" and "number" were too general so it only searched the word "missing." How can i conduct a search for my question?

You can use the trick described in my signature and adapt it to searching the forum.

So go to Google and enter "missing membership number site:tech.lds.org/forum" (without the quotes).
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

Google really is much better... I wonder if LDSTech has looked into just using Google site search for the search box instead of their own system...

The rules for what is a "common" word have been adjusted so that many more words are now searchable. For the example from the original post, both "membership" and "number" can now be searched.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
