Seems to be the only forum for bug repotting here, but full of product issues. My apologues if this is not the right place, but I trust it will get to the right people. Thanks.
Have just had the search function stuck on searching one thread during forum search. Seemed I tried to set preferences for thread search and it put them in single content global thread and locked global single content to only search that thread. I managed to figure it out and clear it after I found the thread reference.
- I want to set up a global search preference and a separate thread search preferences. How could I do that please?
- It is also confusing how to operate search preferences and the results are not equivalent. For instance, what is the difference between multiple and single content searches, do both sets of preferences at at the same time, they both seems to save preferences at the same time. Setting both to what should get the same results gets different results.
- You can't set an OR sorting between name field and keywords so you can search for a user OR a reference to a user in the text. Also the keywords do not search the posters name. For instance, if I wanted to search for "Jim" in a thread I would get people mentioning Jim, but none of his posts unless he writes his own name in the post.
- The search returns only 10 pages of results. Which creates gaps you can't get to between showing from oldest to newest and newest to oldest. You can only specify a date up to a year in the preferences.
The new search function has been a bit infuriating for years. It is easier to use Google often, and that is difficult.
Thanks again.
Wayne.
