Can we have a search button accessible always?

[david]

Hi,
Very new here.
Enjoying this site.
However, found it weird that there is that there isn’t a search window when inside a specific forum.
Would find that useful to have the search button accessible from any layer in the site?
Or.. maybe it’s just me?
And/or can search just within a certain forum?

great fun and great help.

2 cents.

The search is always available from the main forum page. Up at the top navigation bar. Other than that I suppose the developer will have to give you an answer on putting it inside the forum. We used to have it at the top of every page but we removed it because it made navigating the forum more difficult. We’ll have to see what the developer has to say on this one.

I think that having buttons all over the place makes things difficult for users to use the forum. There are buttons on the top of the forum on most pages with a search button there, if you need to search use it or if you want to search the whole site go to the forum main page and use the search on top of the forum there.

well, ok. i’ll just use more than one window opened.
it’s just i often do side searches when doing some main search.
something mentioned piques my interest, oh, yeah.. was gonna look at that the other day, etc etc.
it’s just weird having to “cd..” until the search button shows but i wanted to keep the spot i just found through the search.

anyways, all good. just this is only car forum i’ve been in that doesn’t have the search function “at the ready”.
not a big deal, thanks for your time/reply.

On just about every page the navbar above your name at the top of the forum has a ‘search’ button. It may not be as prominent but it is there. Perhaps that will suffice.

Thanks for your suggestion.
