I want to be able to search certain forums. Not really newest or anything but just certain forums. Like .org has. It's mentioned in this thread (kinda haha)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=186269&highlight=search+forums

Would it be something along the lines of http://www.site.com/forum/search.php?do= then the forum #'s? Almost like the 'exclude forums'? But again wouldn't this be searching new threads?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

In each forum is a little Search this Forum box in the upper right under the page numbers tab. Is that what you are wanting?

Well no that would be way to easy haha. ;)

I'm trying to find the exact link so I can place it in my navbar (I have a custom nav). I have GARS and the main forum is articles and I have sub forums from there, reviews...and such. Now what I want to do is when I click on 'articles' it brings up a list of ALL the articles not just those in that forum. I guess in the way that you ( .org) has this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=shownewreleases

But I don't see what I want to do being as complicated...

Does that make sense? I usually don't explain stuff very well haha

Thank you!!

So you want to know what the single link/url would be to search for a specific term, like articles? Like:

http://www.yoursite.org/forum/search.php?do=process&query=articleOr, for titles only:

http://www.yoursite.org/forum/search.php?do=process&titleonly=1&query=article

(Only in your code, use & instead of &)
