Search this forum (and its subforums) feature
-
@felagund You're not missing anything.
Frequent Searches can be saved as web panels, then you only need to change the search term.
Be wary of saving your search preferences as this will also limit your web panel search results.
-
@Pesala I see, but it varies what subforum I want to search so this sounds rather convoluted, but thanks for the suggestion.
-
@felagund This feature would make sense. Probably also why a direct link to search was custom made on the feature request forum board some time ago. Probably would need to be implemented by nodeBB, since I don't think the Vivaldi devs will do this.
-
I see. Never realized this was not code internally in Vivaldi but it makes sense. Anyway, opening bugsthere is easy enough: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/358050

When I'm on a thread or forum, the upper right magnifying glass icon does not allow me to 'search this thread/subforum´or something. I am only presented with a super cluttered and complicated advanced search, that I have to search through in order to select the forum I'm looking for.
Maybe it's a glitch on my Safari?

It is just a missing feature. If you regular search the MacOS forum, just save it as a web panel and change the search string to find different topics.
-
@Pesala thank you, will do!
-
So this has been implemented upstream: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/8233
How often is this forum upgraded? Can't wait to use this in practice!
-
@felagund Forum has been updated a few days ago, don’t know whether nodebb version changed though and no way to tell when it will be updated again.
-
It seems like they are in many betas towards 1.15 release and this should be in the latest beta, but I am not sure the forum runs on beta software, probably not.
-
Hm, so already 1.16 is out od NodeBB. But I guess Vivaldi has not upgraded yet because I do not see the search subforum option yet?
-
Does anybody know how to check what version of NodeBB is deployed right now? Search this subforum still does not seem to be included or I do not understand how it works.

Having the same question (only route is advanced search). but expect a search box for searching this subsection
-
@saturnus Below the list of forums there is a checkbox for:
Search Child Categories -
I do not think that is what I asked for. Using the header search bar should search the subcategories but it does not seem to here on Vivaldi, I suspect the forum software is not upgraded? Otherwise I do not understand the discussion in the bug I linked above.

The part in the red circle is part I'm searching for. To quickly search a subforum. Instead of being in the appropriate forum - having to go to advanced search again defining the search range.
-
Yes, that is what I want and according to upstream (in the beginning of a thread, I linked a github issue), it should be possible in recent versions of the forum software, but I have no idea if this instance has been already upgraded and how to find out.
-
Ok, so this finally arrived, good!
