Has anyone else had this trouble - the search function seems to be missing. Here is what the FAQ says about being able to search but I can't find the things mentioned since the board upgrade.:confused:

------
"How do I search for something?

To quickly find a thread or post of interest anywhere on the bulletin board, click on the 'Search' link in the navigation bar at the top of most forum pages. Then, type in the keyword or phrase you wish to search for, and select either 'Show Threads' or 'Show Posts' to view the results. By selecting posts, you will be shown only the actual post in which the search word appears.

For more control over the search, select 'Advanced Search' from the drop-down box. The advanced search page allows you to restrict your search to individual forums, find posts or threads by user, or return results based on tags (?). There are also options to find posts from a certain date, or threads with a certain number of replies.

How do I search a specific forum or thread?

If you are browsing a forum, you can quickly search for a thread or post within it by clicking on the 'Search this forum' link near the top of the page (it's above the list of threads). You can also search for individual posts within a thread by clicking on the 'Search this Thread' link at the top of any thread view page."

Pete and gang, Thanks for all you do to keep this place up and running.:worship:

I've always been frustrated by this too. I also wish that the NEW POSTS link would work so that I can post in other forums, not just the few I frequent.

The search option seems to be missing since the upgrade. I bet they're working on it.

I've never had much luck w/ Search on the boards. I always do a Google search. If you put in what you're searching for followed by site:disboards.com it will bring back pretty good results
