At the same time, I find it bizarre that if I want to see a list of my own comments, the site would generate that via a search. Why not just a query along the lines of:
select * from comments where username = 'ryan_mcgreal' order by comment_id desc
With decent indexing and possibly pagination, that really shouldn't put much strain on the server.

It must be something peculiar to the vbulletin software they use for this site? I don't know, I'm not involved with the technical aspects of the site and I don't even know what their setup is other than they use vbulletin (I think Mike K. takes care of those things). But I have noticed a lot of sites use google for searching now.
