Question

Search a particular forum?

Greetings,

when I am in a given forum, I need the ability to search that perticular forum; not the entire Adobe site and not all forums; just that particular one.  How can I do that?

Thank you

    I doubt anyone cares whether or where you're going.

    Your post is gratuitously, provokingly confrontational.

    The drop down box solution isn't effective in this case.  It is almost better to put the forum name as a part of the search criteria, e.g. "Wacom Tablet Lightroom".  The default should be to search the forum you are in at the time, with the option to then search all..  this implementation is very user unfriendly.

    Go to the Advanced Forum Search page.  An easy way to get to it to it fast is to leave the search box at the top of this page blank and hit ENTER. That will take you to the advanced options page.

    Or you can bookmark it:  http://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa

    Once there, click the tiny green arrow for More Options.  It's pretty straight forward.

    Thank you for your reply.

    It is helpfull, but it does not do what I need.  If you empty the search box and hit enter, it performs a search for "search forums" anyway, even though the search box was empty.

    If you follow the link:

    http://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa

    you are obviously no longer on the forum page that you want to search.

    This question is still open and will hopefully get some attention from Adobe.

    Searching a given forum is minimal fumctionality that should be in place, before the forums become usable.

    Read my post again.  Follow the instructions.  [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/414764]

    The "More Options" button let you choose the freaking forum, good grief!
