    Resolved [RESOLVED] Search this forum?

    Is there any way of adding a "Search this forum" option (without a hack)? I always think that that's what the Search link on the top bar does, but it searches all forums.

    Cheers,

    I was kinda hoping to be able to avoid that. I like just typing in the drop down Search box, but its scope always catches me out

    I take it there is no quicker way to search the current forum?

    Cheers,
    When I saw what you said I didn't think that was right, but I didn't say anything but I just verified that Search this Forum searches just one forum.

    Uhh... I'm an idiot

    I was talking about the topmost Search link. I didn't notice that there is actually a "Search this forum" link below it... *smacks head*

    Thanks, and BTW congrats on your 200+ rep points
