When I use the *search forum* option at the bottom of whatever forum I am in (not the BIG search), why, if I am choosing this option, which I assumed would search the forum I am currently in, why does it return all forums with related words?

I just tried it and it restricts my search results to the forum I'm in.

Freaky!

Can you try in the AOS forum?

I just tried :

JFK* search in EAD forum

Fraud in MENA (oops!!)

Life in OT

October in AOS

all returned multiple forums???

Yup, worked for me there too. Only results from the AOS forum.

Maybe it has something to so with your member level? A bug?

hmmm - ok. will wait for Captain to check on it, or Mags can confirm that she sees it this way too.

thank you Jenn!

hmm not seing. maybe threads that were moved? They have a link in the old forum possibly?

This is still happening to me. Mags? Does this happen to you as well?

I just searched for "singapore" in the AOS forum and only got results from the AOS Forum. Any other things that you are doing that might be different?

I swear I am not crazy. I just did a search for Singapore in the AOS forum as well. See below results.

Ok - I just had my husband sign in and did the same search in the AOS forum. The only threads returned were for that specific forum.

Conclusion - I am not crazy, and my ID is borked.

OKay, late to the party - sorry!

When I do a search using the forum specific box at the bottom it brings up threads all over VJ. These are not threads that have been moved either (I checked!).

aha!

this is weird! I will look into it.
