Exact substring lookup over thread titles and author usernames, ordered by view count — use for literal title or author matching rather than relevance-ranked full-text search.

Search individual WindowsForum posts (not just thread titles) for a keyword or phrase — use to find specific answers, error messages, or fixes buried inside long threads.

Find WindowsForum discussions by meaning rather than exact words — embedding-based semantic search that excels at natural-language questions and paraphrased topics.

Use to answer 'why is there no Key-Facts card on thread N?'.
