Suggestion: "Find a Forum"

Puck

Boards.ie is huge. It can be hard sometimes for me to find a particular board using the currect menu navigation system, and I've been here for years. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for newbies. What I was thinking might be handy is a search box on the front page where a user can search for a forum on a subject they are interested in. The search box would only search through the forum names and descriptions. Is this possible?

I've been away for a while so apologies if this is already here or if there is another, better way being used but if there is it's not very obvious.

maybe have it search individual thread titles too?

So just set up a group of keywords for each forum kind of thing?

Sounds like a good plan

Yes, good.

Yes, nice idea but say you were looking for Skateboards, you'd put that into the existing search system and you'd get a load of results from the Extreme Sports board... that should really be a clue, neh?

Great idea

I was thinking of something similar the other day when it took me 5 minutes to find the David Hasselhoff forum. That'll teach me to sub important fora, I suppose.
