xenforo normal search missing

[Mr Lucky]

I am looking at https://www.speakev.com

The footer says this is a xenforo forum, however it looks like no xenforo I know of.

But mainly I'm concerned that I cannot find the expected search field within forums/threads/titles/member etc. Obviously some quite heavy customisation of the theme has happened, but why would anyone reduce the regular search to just a one field global search (rendering close to useless?

Or maybe the regular search is there and I can't see it, can anyone discover it? Thanks

The admin seems to be a company called Vertical Scope, and don't seem to be able to help answer such questions.

Search is here: https://www.speakev.com/search/

There's at least one other similar looking forum from the same company here:

Search threads

www.ioniqforum.com

In both cases, it feels like a style predominately aimed at small screen devices (IMO).

Aha thanks I thought it had to be there somewhere.

Yes it does seem to be a totally paired down style that might be OK on a phone for very basic use, but not what you want on desktop.

Ha, spoke too soon, the search is totally broken in that the filters don't work. Shows results from all forums and relates without keyword in title.

Very odd.
