I also used to have troubles finding threads that already existed on NCEES problems using the EB.com search function. What I did to remedy this was to use G-o-o-g-l-e and type in for instance "NCEES 530" and the "engineerboards.com" after that and it would usually come up with a link to a thread on this site if one existed.Couldn't find this problem using the search function.
