Search does not work

Forum searching hasn't worked correctly for some time now. No results are returned if searching within specific forums.

For example, searching for the term "adobe" returns no results.

Searching the forums without specifying a specific forum area still works as long as you search from the main search box but returns results from all forums.

    It has never worked for most people and people have given up on this function (i have definitely given up on this).  Google is your best option for the time being but this too might come to an end if Adobe decided to block Google bots from storing messages.  We have to rely on "word of mouth" or links provided by other users.  Welcome to the 21st century Adobe style!

    Let us hope so, John.

    Will the local search still/again be there for the forums where we enjoyed them?


    Yes. Jive 4.5.x lets you "search this location only" (and that means this location and below). Built in, so won't need to create special widgets.
