Hi you all,
I'm quite an advanced user on forums, but couldn't find an answer for this issue.
When I click on "New Posts" I'll get a list of the posts that are submitted since my last visit.
But that works only on the all the forums.
I would like to see all the posts that are submitted while a was gone... in a subforum (like Rhodium General)
How do I do that, 'cause now it's sorted in weird way.
I'm searching my way through pages of info, to find the thread I was following.
(I know, I can subscribe, but I just want to see the last posts in a subforum).
Thanx in advance.
Mr. Advanced user
Nice question...
thats why im a "noob on forums" but always subscribe to them!
maybe flar has the answer to this... or Vbulletin?
No one?
Is it really so hard to do this?
Hi all,
First of, sorry if this i a commonly asked question, i tried to search the forum but not knowing what the name of the app would be my search gave no results. So i decided to ask all of you.
0:33 into this video you can see an "unlimited" amount of shortcuts, what app is this?
Seems i cant post the link since im a new user but search youtube for -HTC HD2 "Artemis ROM V6.0 NLD"
Thanks.

Thanks alot, much appreciated .
No Prob. Question answered thread closed
I have just done a search for "XFJP7" and a list came up with no reffrence to XFJP7.
The first result was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
I did a search in that thread for "XFJP7" and nothing was found.
If this site wants users to search the threads for answers then you need to fix your searching.....
You also need to make it easer to find threads users posted in......
search
hi,
Well me search bought this up :http://www.google.com/cse?q=XFJP7&s...ub-2900107662879704:fs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1 with quite a few results.
Not being sarcastic here, but did you ever think to broaden your search field a little to get more results. for example roms, slowdowns, fixs etc?
THe information is out there, you just need to have a little patience and know how to search!
Cheers.
I've searched for some questions which solved what I was looking for, but i can't find the like/thanks. Other forums usually have it next to the name or the number of post of that thread. Thanks in advance.

You must be logged in to see it, once you are, you should see it at the end of a post.
Indeed, right under, next to 'QUOTE_MULTI-QUOTE_QUICK REPLY'
Also, the display style chooser, - the drop down box in the far bottom left of each page, with 'Copyright© xda-developers.' under it, must be set to XDA - 2010
If it is set to XDA - Classic, you wont see it.
Like the title said... How can i search into a thread on this forum, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Go to the search bar, and in the menu where it says "everywhere" by default, select "this thread"
Edit: Old answer, newest one here:

Yep, we knew that when testing. The xda team is working on it (it takes time but it will be addressed eventually)
You can keep using "[your search] site:forum.xda-developers.com" in google to search for threads. To search in thread use control+F and go through as much pages as you can (that's a solution if you REALLLLLLLY want to search. Otherwise look at the right part of your screen, there should be a "most thanked" section. Useful answers are usually there

Didn't work for me. Still shows results same as "Everywhere". Please help.

It doesn't work at all. Search "everywhere" or "threads" "forum and devices" all yield identical result. And you'd know that if you actually use the function yourself.
There is another button says "search forums" and all it does is search globally.
I think XDA-Developer's new website is trying to boost the site's activities by deliberately crippling the search function and encourage people to ask the same question again and again.
A prime example of "if it is not broken, let's break it for kicks"
Someone is having some sort of weird satisfaction by watching their users hopelessly trying to find their answer and couldn't find any. It's like watching his pet mouse couldn't get out of a maze.
The previous search was intuitive. It used to produce results sorted to newest first. Please tell me how to get results sorted to descending order of date now.

This message was from quite long ago, some things may have changed. When I wrote this message I used the function, and it worked just fine.
I know, the search function isn't working flawlessly rn, but things keeps moving, so be patient.
And do you seriously think xda is deliberately breaking the search function to make users mad ?? Do you really think that xda would deliberately force its users to clog the already full Q'n'A forum with useless repeated questions ? You're saying "boost the activity" when it's literally spamming the forum with old questions that contributors will just answer by ("see here: link)" anyway. XDA isn't payed for how much post/thread is created, in fact it's the opposite! You come with assumptions on how works the whole thing, those are assumptions, so you can complain about the search function no problem but keep those theories of yours for yourself.
And if you want you can just use google:
[your search] site:forum.xda-developers.com
I get it you're frustrated, but be nice when posting, I would've happily told you that trick if you did so. I still did, but it wasn't heartily...

Forgot to answer, use google like that it should work fine:
[your search] site:forum.xda-developers.com
It looks like it's broken rn, there surely will be a fix, but for now use google it should get the job done
Experiencing the same issue here.. The search function in the new interface does not work for me..

Trying to use the search function (thread) with no result at all.
Not working, what a pain! Why always need to change the theme when everything was fine before?
ah so it's not just me... There should be like a huge flashing message at the top of every page saying "search does not work properly" or just disable the function until its working.

Especially considering following favorite mechanical answer from exp. devs :
> This has been discussed many times on this thread. Please search the thread for keywords (such as ${search} in this case) before posting. Thanks

tags search is working https://forum.xda-developers.com/tags/ , btw @sd_shadow @svetius thanks for having raised them to 10x units, exp. devs must use them more efficiently...
(EDIT: @svetius , technically I should be able to up-vote (or down-vote) my post, shouldn't I ?)

I can't agree more with @kngharv : It's impossible that a website like xda-developers hasn't managed (unless intentionally) to fix this issue in months. I'm sure they could fix it in a couple of hourse if they wanted to.

In January at the time when the post was created that you quoted the search function was indeed broken. However, at least for me it seems to be completely fixed already for weeks or months. I've personally no issues at all, neither with a general search on XDA or e.g. a specific in-thread search. For me it's obvious that meanwhile the complete database has been transfered and indexed after the transition from vBulletin to Xenforo and the new servers.
If you still have problems please provide some more information, examples or screenshots to allow us to support and assist you in fixing your problem. Such a generic statement like yours isn't really helpful in trouble-shooting.
And I hope you don't mind that I don't respond to the unsubstantial assumptions and accusations in the post to that you completely agree. Even during the times of the broken search we enforced implementation of rule no. 5 of the XDA Forum Rules, and removed duplicated posts or questions or closed threads if a subject matter related one already existed.

As I said, for me it works fine but probably it's my limited use, too. Can you provide me an example that we can compare our results?

Seems to be working now, but when @zogoibi posted It wasn't.
