auto-search forums using the title

Post by Alberth »

Finally a forum where I can make a suggestion :p

Given the trouble of users to find the 'search' button, would it be an idea to search for them, for example like what happens when you submit a new bug in KDE.

After entering the forum post title, use it to do a search and return the list of hits. Hopefully people will read that, and find the answer, instead of creating new post.

I am not sure if Alberths question is not the same as mine, but

I would really appreciate ability to search in a current forum or just in one selected forum.
I would suggest to add current forum to "Jump to:" list ( see image )

I'm sorry, but what? The "Jump to" list will, obviously, jump to the topic list of that forum. Your screenshot shows the current forum, and you can click Go to then go back to that topic list. If you want to search the current forum, the search box at the bottom left of the viewforum page lets you od that, or you can go into the Search page and select the forum manually. What exactly is it you're wanting?

ups, sorry I made a mistake.
Somehow I have not seen "Jump to:" text and thought that this is a list where the search text will be searched. Sorry !

I don't want to jump to current forum from current topic :-)

I'll expand my question.

Is there a way to search for Attachment's file names in one forum? Latest binaries are not always on first or last page.

I'm afraid attachments can't be searched. You could try searching using Google and the "site:tt-forums.net" tag to try to narrow things down, perhaps.
