I know the Forum Administrator would love to kill me for this idea, but I have seen it done on other forums and it really is wonderful.
Why could we not have a "Search" function on this forum that helps us to find groups of information on a subject? For instance, if you were interested in the cost of apartments in Huntsville, Alabama, you could punch in on this board in the search column: apartments Huntsville, Alabama. Then any post with that sort of information would pop up. Simple!
I have NO idea if this is hard to do or not. Just thought it would be useful.
Hope I put this in the correct category (General U.S.), because I haven't any idea how to contact the Forum Administration.
(Not trying to cause trouble, but just thought that this would be a great help to many of us.)

Isn't that what the top middle feature is?
The one between "New Posts" and "Quick Links"?
Or are you looking for a more specific search function?

Click on the down arrow next to "search," and select "advance search." Type in "apartments huntsville" and then select "alabama" to your right, so only the alabama forum is searched. It's very handy.

Have fun!

I use search often -- right on top of each page "Search." I also use words with a PLUS sign (+) to get a more refined response.

As stated above there already is this feature. I'll leave this thread here for a day and then tomorrow move it to the correct forum. I'll send you a pm with the address of where it can be found.
