I can type anything down in the correct box, hit search for topic, and it always pops up with results that have absolutely nothing to do with the word. Did I misread something, am I forgetting to do something? *confused*

*hits search*

Hmm...announcement thread in Canada...o_O

*ctrl+f*
*types stealth*
*enter*

Nope...no stealth here...

Nowhere...It seems to just come up with the topics that have been last posted in or something along those lines... erm.gif

You need to use Display Results As Posts, not Topics.

You're searching the entire forum for posts that have "Stealth" in them, but then only displaying the threads which contain them.

For example, here is the post which flagged the Nova Scotia announcement thread in Canada.

Hmmm...interesting...thanks.

(One would assume searching by topic means searching for a topic name and post, and searching by post means searching for a specific post in every topic)

Edit: I just noticed that it says "Display results as..." I was under the assumption that it said "Search for results by..."

My bad...Oops erm.gif
