First, you should use radio buttons correctly, by placing them on the _left_ side of options. I don't think I've seen many forms on the web laid out like yours with the buttons to the right. Very confusing.Why not put a Search Help link on the search page itself?
You need to explain the Slow Message/Topic Search some place. I still don't understand what it is, and it's not explained on the search help page. When you use it, btw, your highlighter doesn't work - it highlights individual words within the phrase.
You should get rid of the hyphens in the select list of forums. Most forums are selectable using the first letter of the forum name, except for the ones preceded by hyphens. For example, to select "All Forums", you generally just hit the "a" key twice.
