    Searching a forum.
    « on: May 04, 2013, 11:58:20 PM »
    I would like to search a forum here, when I'm in it, to see if the reason I am there has already been addressed. But when I put in a keyword in that "Forum only search" it isn't looking thru the messages. I get sent to a short tutorial instead.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any info.

    Try it both ways.
    I  get best results with just using search. If the topic is in the forum, it comes up. The 'forum only search' is awkward. IMHO it is better to just try different keywords rather that trying to go into  the maze of Boolean logic.
    Works for me.  ;D
