A general question...

Does the forum have some way of searching for posts relating to a specific topic?  It would be most time-saving if one could view earlier posts for some guidance on assistance from forum members.

 

If such a tool is available, where is it located?

There is a "search" field in upper right corner (under your username when you are signed in).
There is a green button with a magnifying glass....

My experience with these sorts of things at many forums is that the forum search engine is not terrific, but it's worth a try.

You can also use your web browser's search feature:

For example, in the search field, type: "Thailand_PAL" site:bleepingcomputer.com
(Put the term you are searching in quotes, as shown in the example.)

I find Google to be a better way of finding reference materials to a given subject/topic.  Google reflects posts from all over, including specific BC posts which target said topic/area and the base is much broader than any one site can provide.

I agree with @hamluis

Hello, dear Friends!

 

BC's internal search tool works quite OK.  Unfortunately, when I tried to use it just now, the specific topic I had on my mind the day I posted my question had completely eluded me!  Like NADA!!!  I'll give it another try when the eluded topic pops back into my mind.

 

I found hamluis's post interesting, but using Google would require using two sites (Google & BC) to get the one task at hand done.

 

Will return to this topic once my foggy brain gets cleared up...

Hi. re post #5 like yes have to do 2 things to get the best results.      Just do your question in google and add bleepingcomputer.com/forums to the end.

 

I find this site search hopeless, in adequate to today's need for speed to the result.

To All who have responded, "Many Thanks!"  We can now close this topic as it is solved thanks to your help!

You can just go to your profile.
