Question

Disappearing option of Search this forum

There used to be a Search this forum button in the Illustrator forum, but now it has disappeared altogether.

While it was still there, some of us had hopes of its beginning to work again, some day, maybe.

But now it is gone.

What about other forums?

Any hopes left?

Thank you, John.

And I shall not ask the obvious question.

Grin... I think we would ALL like to know the answer(s) to when and which version of Jive

I'm sure John is very reluctant to state a vague time. Factors beyond his control change the date and end up making him look the fool. And nobody enjoys looking the fool!

Personally, I'm just happy to know it is planned this summer...

Jacob,

When those "Search This/These Forum(s)" was active, they were added by the various MOD's, like John T. mentions.

Then, Search broke again, and now I do not see them in the forums, that I frequent.

Do not know if they will be implemented, but would assume that they will be at the discretition of the various MOD's.

Good luck to us all,

Hunt

When the forums are updated that widget shouldn't be necessary. The newer version of the forum software lets you select to search all or search the current space and below.

Where the widget would be nice is in places where you want to search 2 or 3 different spaces that are not related hierarchically. So, a moderator could set one up to search both Photoshop and Camera Raw or some combination like that.

Thank you for that update on the update - hm-m-m, say that ten times quickly.

Looking forward to Search working better.

I was just invited to take a survey on the Adobe Forums (Adobe sponsored, but 3rd pary survey firm), and Search was one of the topics with 2 - 3 questions.

As far as I know, that is not a "global" option for the forums, it is something that the individual forum moderator must activate

Since the global search has been broken for so long... recently fixed according to another message I read... it may be that the individual mod has not put the "this forum" search back in place... or, the global fix MAY preclude a "this forum" search

Hi folks

As a volunteer forum moderator I had installed the wonderful "Search This Forum" in the forums I assist with moderating. I recently removed all mine as well. As I understood it, this function broke and wasn't likely to be fixed anytime soon. So I removed mine because there were so many reports of it not working.

Hopefully Adobe will be upgrading the forums software this summer and we will have improved search capabilities.

Cheers... Rick
