Subforum search

Many subforums used to have a search field for searching just within this subforum. I can't find this any longer after the update. Is this possible to add to my Personlized View tab?

    There's not SUPPOSED to be a need for that any more. The default search is supposed to have an automatic option to search the current forum. It has not worked in my tests.

    If the regular search does not work for current forums, I will add the forum specific ones on forums that I frequent (and I assume other moderators will do the same)...

    Ah. I just tried again, and now it works as advertised. Nice!

    Agreed. Also the old search allowed you to search a group of categories such as all the RoboHelp categories. That was a useful half-way house.


    Admins can try adding back the custom search widget. But during initial testing, I was not finding that custom widget to work reliably. I was getting results for all forums in that widget. Harbs, can you test it out (as you originally came up with the custom widget) to see if you can get it to work reliably?

    Thanks!

    Start typing in the search field, the list that opens has an option to limit the results.
