Hello,

What exactly do you mean 'it doesn't work'? Can you perform a search? What is the url to your forum? May you post a screenshot of the issue?

Information is crucial to us helping you resolve your issue as fast and effeciently as possible, so when you make a new support topic, try to include as much detailed information about your problem as possible.

topics is ok- it works ... (but it doesnt give so much results as it schould).
but to find the requested key word in a post- thats the problem.

So, I want to find every post from those 55 338 posts where the discussions were about WORK.

РАБОТА (cyrilic BG). Try to find it...in the posts

Yes, but this shows you the topics, not the posts in the topics...

by **Ape** January 5th 2016, 1:47 am

That is looking for key words in the post right ?

by Thelindali January 5th 2016, 1:48 am

so i can not search the posts? only the topics, the tittles?

to your question : yes

we use the hashtag system to look for words if there tagged i will make a report about this but as i have always understood it has always been a search for topic titles

But i will ask to make sure for you.

The normal search engine only looks for keywords in topic titles. Also you can not search for words less then 4 characters long.

To search in posts/messages, you have to use hashtags and click the tags box in the search box.

Thanks @SLGray That is just how I thought Wink
