While in the Ideas area on the FS communities, the "Search" box at the top of the page will NOT result in a search through the Ideas area postings. It only seems to search through all of the Community Group postings.

    Correct, Jeff, but the search box directly above the newest post does a great job of searching the "Idea" posts including the former GetSat ones. I just tested it by searching ​for "GEDCOM" = many results from GetSat forum.

    Aaack! Of COURSE there would be two separate search boxes on the same page that behave in a totally different way!


    Thanks for pointing that out Robert. I'm sure that I would have continued looking at that page for the next few weeks without ever spotting the second search box :-)


    I guess it just looked too much like a topic box…


    Putting a search box up in a domain that it doesn't really search in seems rather pointless though.

    Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I raised a similar point the other day regarding searching for posts on a particular topic. Not perfect, but what search tool is?
