Is there a search function to search topics on the forums?

I don't want to ask questions that have already been covered extensively, but I can't find the search function for forums.

I found the search for topics covered in articles (Site Search, at the bottom of the page) but not a search just for forum topics.

Thanks, but that didn't work.

I want to search for the topic of "Tetracycline" anywhere in the forums, especially "Medical Questions" but when I type it in it comes back with nothing.

I clicked on "search" under "LymeNet Flash" and did a search for Tetracycline.

"500 matches found"

Thank you, that worked.

I think I missed the top searchbox because the lines are so dim on my computer that I did not see it and only used the lower searchbox.

Problem solved.

We could provide a sticky at the top of the forum which specifically instructs members on where the search function is located and how to actually perform a search.

Here is what I made. Feel free to use it as a sticky (or not).

That's good stuff and would be real helpful.

I found my topic, tetracycline, now that the easy part is over, I got to read through all the hits.

Thanks all.
