Subject: Where's the search function for forum entries?

I've scoured the pages here, but can't find any means to search the forum entries, other than manually paging and visually scanning. This is the only forum I've used for which it isn't clear how to or perhaps possible to search. This likely increases the frequency of redundant questions.

Am I missing something? Browser disfunction (Firefox / Opera)? Anyone find it or know why we can't search?

Bob, the (lack of) search feature has been reported to the authorities that be. Used to be that one could use the regular Linux.com search bar on the top right to search for forum entries as well, but not any more it seems.

And you're right, I'm moving this thread to the Miscellaneous Discussion forum, since it's a forum feature topic and not Linux related.

Cheers!
