This may have been answered before, if so my apologies.  Is there a way to search for prior posts?  I know it would be in Forum 43 so can the search be limited to just one forum?

Yes.  Three steps:

click on the blue search icon and enter search term, click on advanced, highlight Forum 43.

Thanks but this does not work for me.  When I click on the magnifying glass icon to the right of the blue bell I do not get the Search word to appear to the right of the House icon under the dark grey bar.

Did you type in a search term?  Maybe its a browser issue? I use Chrome....

Yes, it seems typing in the search terms opens up the option for the advanced search.

Type in the terms, the advanced text shows once you hit enter

Search 1

 

That opens up your filter options

Search 2

OK, after entering a term in the magnifying icon box (far right at top)  you have to hit the keyboard key for enter.  It does not work with left clicking the mouse.   Thanks.

Hi Guys

My search procedure question.  When I pick the the word "search" in upper right a gray bar comes up with a the words "search products"  with a flash curser in middle. Then type in anything and the next screen comes up with the words "product not found ------"   Looks like I am searching for something to buy?  Any suggestion how to get around this?

Thank you for the help, on my screen the "Forum" search icon is invisible.  I would have never found it without your help.  It would be nice if the color of the search icon was in contrast to the gray bar.  Also with two search callout, it would be great if they were named.  "Forum Search"  and "Product Search or Store Search"
