Implemented "Search this forum"

[Jake Bunce]

You can do this through the Advanced Search page, but I don't see any direct implementation for searching the current forum that you are in.

I would like to suggest incorporating that functionality into the popup search menu. For example, when you are in a particular forum you can go to the Search menu and there is a checkbox for "this forum only." Simple. Elegant. Doesn't add clutter to the page. I think that would work well.

Jake! Woot!
My favorite from the old vB staff .

Which brings up a really good point... Will we be able to use url parameters to script the search? That's HUGE from an integration with other packages standpoint.

Ah, I remember when I wrote that guide.

URL search submissions appear to work the same here. For example:

http://xenforo.com/community/search/search/?keywords=test&title_only=1

It'll be awesome if we can do the URL searches. I was surprised at how useful they were when I started to use them for specific things like running a search through specific forums only.

It has already been suggested somewhere. I remember, because I supported it and also miss this great functionality that the even so great vb3.8 had.

Having said that, I think this alpha release is mind blowing convincing already. What a hard needed breath of fresh air is going through the forum world right now!.

Sweet!
That's really good news. Being able to put a parameterized search like that into a link is incredibly useful .

Can search by title be added?

Go Mike!

Awesome, it's been implemented yay

A little extra padding inside the blue tab wouldn't hurt visually.

Agreed just a little and maybe ever some of that rounded corner goodness

 

[Tigratrus]

Nice! +1 to Mike's awesomeness score.

Agreed with just a tad more padding inside the tab, but I like the implementation, nice and clean .
