Forum Search

Tuesday, October 18, 2005 by richlivi | Discussion: ObjectDock

I realize that this isn't really the appropriate place to ask this question, but I really couldn't figure out where would be best place to ask. I can't figure out how to perform a search on a specific forum. For example, if I want to look for all the posts on 'taskbar' in the ObjectDock forum, how would I do that? Using the search form that's available on the left-hand column doesn't seem to work for this at all, and I don't see any other option for searching.

For example, when I do select 'Forums' in the drop-down list on the left-hand column search form, and then enter something like 'ObjectDock taskbar' I get no results. I know I'm probably overlooking something that should be obvious, so I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

It's matching your words (or parts if you use parts) to the title or author. It's not real intuitive. More like a monkey matching shapes.
If the original poster used "taskbar" in the title, then 'taskbar' and forums in the drop down will find all those. If they called it 'startbar', it won't unless you use 'startbar'. If you use 'bar' it will find all those (theorhetically).
