The message search facility searches the forum it is used on, by default. So if you use it here, it will search "Site Bugs / Suggestions" forum. And you can add forums to the search domain, choosing from the ones that are listed.

No it doesn't. I just searched here for "Dan Neely", nothing on the first page is from this forum. Site Bugs / Suggestions isn't an option on advanced search.

You need to stop having multiple search boxes on one page. It's too confusing, especially when the prominent one is the wrong one.

I personally find it very useful having a local, forum-specific search box.
I'll add date ordering for search results.

could you also add "This forum" as an option for the main search box dropdown?

Should the amount of time this step took be seen as an indication of how long it will take before it's implemented?

See the grey search bar just below the top banner? Set the dropdown to "Messages" and enter your search term - it will search all forums.

That assumes I remember approximately what I entered for the subject. If I just enter my name it gives an apparently random subset of the 13.7k messages I've posted.
The number of messages I've posted to bugs/suggestions OTOH is small enough that it would be an easy eyeball search if it returned results in chronological order.

so what you want is
Search ( ) *Pull down menu* ( ) *Pull Down Menu
By keyword By Location (articles/QA...)
By author
By subject
By some arbitrary item to be determined.
that sound right?

Just adding bugs/suggestions to the advanced search and adding an order by date option would do what I want. Alternately add "other" to the advanced search page and let the user type the name of any of the missing forums (or articles) into it.

the results are "sorted by relevance". Please don't ask me what that means.

Wow. Thanks. I'll need some time to study that, and I probably will be back with some questions...
Cheers.

OK, that was interesting. I have read it all, it was way above my head. Fortunately we now have antichronological, which is what I always have wanted.
Could you please:
- either persist our combobox selection (relevance/chronological)
- or make chronological the default?
TIA

It all boils down to: relevance is based on keyword density.
However, the underlying issue here is the SQL word-breaker and indexer is antiquated. We're looking for a replacement.

Done.
(Well, reverse chronological)

Are you still trying to track down the second gremlin from my original report[^], or is there a third in the system?

Unfortunately I've had a few other fires to deal with and haven't had a chance to nut this one out.

OK. I'll grant fixing the lounge was more important; but just wanted to make sure it was still an open issue on your end, not incorrectly closed.

It would be cool if we were able to add custom bookmark labels/categories to our bookmark lists instead of just the defaults ones given. Also the category/label font color should be different than the font color of the article in the bookmark list...it just makes it easier to read, that's all. Great site and keep up the good work!

This is definitely on the list, and has just been bumped up.
