Searching

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but is there a way to search the forum? I can't seem to find it, and not sure if i just haven't spotted it yet.

EDIT: And, at the bottom of this post, I see the Site Jump pull down. Maybe I need a nap.  :huh:

It's on the left, in a white square below the menu.

Yeah, what he said.  But your point is noted; I'll see if I can find a better place for it or just make it more visible.

Re: Searching

Does the search function actually search the posts or just the site articles and other content?

Geez I search and search, but never find the topic and when I post I find out it's a dupe.

Mebbe it's me...besides I never get lost while driving.....of course I meant to go to Cleveland, honey....

Re: Searching

Great question. There are actually 3 search engines, just to keep things interesting.

the one with the red "search" button at the top of the column will seach the articles on the site. To seach the Cafe you need to ust the "In This Section" search option. The if you want to see what we carry in the Market you can use it's own seach engine. I know its a little confusing, but it's what we have at the second.


Keeping it all in RetroSpective

Re: Searching

Right...what he said.

And for the record, the cafe search engine is a bit widgy.  The index got corruptes ages ago, and hasn't been right since.  But recent topics should be OK.  I think.  Can you tell I don't use the search feature much?

At the very least, I'll try to label the darn things better.
