If you mean you see no option to search specific forums, then neither do I. I suspect it was removed.

Click on Advanced Search and then on Search by Type. You may then pick to search a specific forum(s).

Please post further questions regarding vB4 default functionality on vb.com. See this sticky - Installation Issues / Questions or bug reports regarding default vBulletin 4.0

The search feature went down the gutter on the new release...to my knowledge there's no way to search for a keyword in a particular forum.

Do you have Lynne on ignore? Or do you despise vb4 so much you just don't want to learn new ways of doing things?

I'll agree it's not real intuitive to press "Search by Type", but it works for searching specific forums.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
