Searching for posts

funkey_monkey

Hi,

I'm looking for some posts I made in the photography forum a year or two ago. I used to be able to search within sub-forums and if I done a sitewide search it would shows me the number of posts I made in each subforum. Could then select that subforum and scroll through those posts.

Can we not do that any more? The search facility seems to be very basic and crude - unless I'm missing out on how to use it properly.

Any help?

Try that link, the boards search needs some specific options set to return any decent results

Alternatively, you can use site:boards.ie in google to search the site, e.g.: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aboards.ie+photography+%22funkey_monkey%22

As above, I always search in Google, outside Boards site, to get the results I want. I wouldn’t even attempt to search within it these times.

Rubbish. A decent search facility is a must for forums.

It should be at least a good as the old site.
