I was interested in trying to make a guess that the most reliable products by searching in the forum for the name of the product, then the name of the product followed by 'repair'.

iPhone 5s and iPhone 5s repair
2015 Macbook and 2015 Macbook repair
...and so on​

The assumption being that the forums that were a higher % about repairs would be less reliable products.

The issue is that when searching I never seem to get more than 500 results back.

Macbook Repair (465): https://forums.macrumors.com/search/1781086/?q=macbook+repair&o=date
Macbook (470): https://forums.macrumors.com/search/1781096/?q=macbook&o=date
iPhone Repair (only 460): https://forums.macrumors.com/search/1781099/?q=iphone+repair&o=date

Is there anyway that I might be able to use search to get these results? Or anywhere else I might get this kind of repair data? I can't use Google site search as it doesn't really allow you to isolate products, try this for example: "site:https://forums.macrumors.com/ 2015 macbook repair -air -pro"
