Texas Data Analytics announces ForumDig.com, an intelligent message board search engine built by co-founder Jason Davis. 

As a car enthusiast and mazda miata owner, I spend lots of time on automotive message boards (primarily miata.net).  I've found these boards to be an invaluable source of information - many users of the boards are real enthusiasts, spending hours per week working on their cars. So whenever I have a specific problem or question about my car, online message boards are the first place I look.

While these boards have lots of great information, finding it is another challenge. Vbulletin powered sites such as miata.net do have search engines on their site, but they're mainly targeted at finding recent documents, with less emphasis on finding relevant documents.  Of course, there's always Google - you can restrict your search to a particular website (e.g. site:miata.net miata engine life).  Results are slightly better here.  However, Google is a general purpose search engine - they treat message board threads like any other web page.
