The Search Function

quote:

---

When I use the Search facility, the software "helpfully" sets the Search Forum or Category field to whatever forum I was looking at when I clicked on Search.

​

But this is never what I want it to do. I always want to search all open forums, and this should be the default setting.

I don't have a problem with it. I usually just search the religious forums or the forum I'm in.When it is searching all open forums, I don't have much luck finding what I want without narrowing the choices.Since the science side uses a lot of the religious phrases I may be searching for, it clutters up my search. That's why I have to narrow it down to the forums or titles.I haven't reached the point of being too lazy to use a few more clicks to find what I need.

Scripture is like Newton’s third law of motionfor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
In other words, for every biblical directive that exists, there is another scriptural mandate challenging it.

When I do use an "all forums" search or a forum other than the one I'm in, I have another tab open to the All Topics page. Then I adjust the needs accordingly.It doesn't annoy me either way. If I have the wrong one in, I adjust and have it search again.So I guess I don't have a strong vote either way. Not really an annoyance for me if you switch.
