Does the "Search this forum" search box works for anyone? When I type any word even that is included in threads that I see on a forum (like "Flex"), it always return 0 results?

Correct answer sanika Kulshreshtha

Hi Sanika, I saw that, but it would be so handy to have "search this forum ONLY" box as well... (like it used to be on the right hand side before). This search box is global and searches through all other forums, very often showing results that are not relevant but having similar keywords in the content...

Ok, I know this forum is about mobile development, not about the forum itself so it is not the best place to complain about search boxes

In the panel that appears after you enter a search string, you can select "Show All" or "Only for Mobile Development".

Hope this helps.

I can see the forum system has been updated but the search box was basically removed. Could anybody explain how to search just one particular forum (like Mobile Development only) not all of them? The way how it works now i sthat it creates a big mess and repetition, when users can't find answers for their questions because forum search does not work they will ask the same questions over and over again.

@signam.pl The search box is present at the top right corner, above "Actions". In fact, I like this one better . See the attached screenshot.

Thanks,

Unfortunately it looks like the search box still doesn't return results!! C'mon Jive Software!

Yeah would be real handy if it could be fixed...

Considering we keep forking out for software upgrades and this is one of the best places for support, being able to find answers just that little bit easier would be nice.

Thanks

Here is the latest bit of news I have on search:

Forum Search is working again if you search the entire site.

Limited/restricted searches (such as the Search This Forum Only widget or restricting a search to a specific time frame) are still returning zero results. We continue to work with the forums vendor on getting this fixed.

Agreed it is a royal pain. I run into the issue as I look for solutions I posted in the past, and need to reference them.
