Community search 2

@Mike_Rundell posted about a search problem with the heading “Community search” a while back:

I also have some search-related issues that I’d like to raise but, as they are different from Mike’s, I’m starting a separate thread.

First, on both of the browsers I use, I am unable to use the “Search within page” function on this forum. When I attempt to do so, I wind up searching the entire community again. Am I missing something or is this a problem that others have experienced?

Another problem I’ve noticed is that I can’t search for “tab” without getting all of the posts with the word “table” in it. As you can imagine there are a lot of those but relatively few with the word “tab.”

I’m sure there are other deficiencies of the current search function on this forum but those are the two that come to mind off hand.

I searched for discussion about these sorts of issues but didn’t find what I was looking for. Perhaps, ironically, problems with the search function caused me to miss a discussion that has already taken place.

This is an important problem in my view because searching this forum is often a better why to find answers to questions one is facing than searching the documentation.

I’m looking forward to any discussion that may develop in response. Thanks in advance!
