So

So how is it possible this site now to search for a specific piece of information in a specific thread

In the olden days (last week lol)
if I wanted a question in the say Q&A section, I would select the thread. Then search "That that specific thread" and other parameters hit GO !


In all my wonderful questions would be answered

Now it seems that the search function searches every single thread on every single game that is on games forum,
oh yeah you can select the specific ones by rolling through a seemingly never-ending list to find the one you actually want
I want have to turn off the children's selection as well
and then if you don't find that specific one you have to start again each time
And that is assuming you've PICKED the right choice in the first place, (eg the answers not in that specific thread at all)
But that's ok just start again from scratch.
Bull that's what happened last night (my time zone)
Just seems so much easier before and so much harder now

And it seems that after each search gotta start again and resets back to just the new word you can't just type in a new search parameter
I'm better off going to Google !

So is there an easier way ?
For example I want to find perimeter set up questions relating to Festung Budapest, it seems I have to search through every forum on here each and every time
that's not very efficient

Any advice appreciated

Have you tried the Search the Site under Site Functions at the bottom of the page? This seems to bring up a screen where you can enter detailed search parameters.

Yup
That' what I did
So it found how I can set up the perimeters of a A Miniatures game, D+D, and a whole lot more rubbish
My question is how do you now search a SPECIFIC thread ONLY
Not the whole site
AND do it efficiently without having to start again each and every time

Could with the old one, want to know the trick now :)

OK click on the search box at the top and it gives you an option to search this thread only.
