When will Adobe get a proper search function in its forums?

I agree.

The Adobe search is quite annoying...    go to the upper right top, type your question,,  which brings up another search area in the middle of the page, where you type your question again,  but first you have to narrow your search to a product, in which you click on a drop dow menu which shows a list of a billion products,   And when you finally find it, and select this... the drop down window stays open,  .. and you're wondering.. is this working?.. as nothing refreshes at all..   so you click search again, , not really knowing if your proper "narrowed"  search was even enabled... and for me,  almost always,  the results are 0 results found

It's sad... I agree with others that using Google search.. far superior.

Originally, the default search location in the fair forums was All forums.

On 8th December 2004, early in the morning at 6:54 PST, I started a new thread in the Comments and Announcements about the Forums forum, as this forum was called then, with the suggestion to change the default search location to Current forum; at 9:52, in other words 3 hours later, John reported that he had made the change. The other posters in that thread were Claudio, Dave, Oz,  Kath, r_harvey, Dee, iGary, and Paz.

Those were the days.

How ever long, it will not be soon enough for me.

Good luck to us all,

Hunt

couldn't agree more...did nobody in a adobe hat ever try doing a search themselves before putting up the page?

completely and utterly useless to access information, and having to go back to the beginning every time arghhhh !...why cant I click on a forum, then search the seleted forum again and again until i find the solution/answer i'm looking for, rather than waste time starting from scatch?

...and whoever thought it was neat to put in a scrolling forum select menu in the not-so-advanced options with only 5 lines displayed when the list is way long with indented subcategories, one word - USEABILITY.....go get some.

The day these Jive forums are replaced by something that works, probably.

It's pretty obvious that these forums (not a community anymore) are extremely low on their priority list.

There have been many suggestions in this forum on making the option box more managable and changing the search method.

As with other user suggestions to imporve the new forum they appear to fall on deaf ears.

You'll learn to expect it soon enough.
