I can't find the Search box at top of forums now?

[DandyDon]

And I miss it horribly. There is a Search Forums tab at the top of every page, but then finding the forum to search is a drag.

By default, it searches the forum you're currently in.

I don't think so. If I click the Search tab at the top of the page, type a word, and search, it searches All Forums.

I don't think so.

It actually does. It will search the forum you're in and all subforums. It will not search outside of those forums.

If I am in the Cozumel forum, click this box:

Type in Search word Help as a test and click Search at the bottom, I get threads from Vintage Equipment Diving
Divers with Disabilities
Cozumel
Vintage Equipment Diving
Basic Scuba Discussions
Buoyancy Compensators (BC's) and Weight Systems
And so on.

@DandyDon , you may be conflating the magnifying glass/search option with the Search Forums option. The Search Forum option indeed starts at All Forums, and yes, it can be tedious looking thru the list. But the magnifying glass (on a phone) or the Search box (on a computer) starts with the forum you are in, unless you click More, in which case it calls up the full Search Forums applet, which starts with All Forums.
It occasionally disappears if you have changed your screen display size or window. On my phone, the magnifying glass (AND the search box) is invisible in horizontal display, but appears when vertical. It is a hardware implementation issue. The function is still there.

That was it! I figured it was something on my end. On my laptop, there is no magnifying glass, but I had CTRL+ zoomed four clicks. On three clicks I see the box. I have 20/30 vision after cataract surgery and 20/20 with glasses, but I still like large text and overdo that at times.

thanks!

Well, I was as useful as an empty tank.

I've been complaining that the magnifying glass has disappeared from my phone for months. Unfortunately, my complaint was around the time of Steve's passing.

But I haven't played with my sizing but it is gone.
