Searching at present is limited to either forum category when you are sat in a particular phone forum or all forums/All phones, you can select your device in advanced search in all forums but the list is verrrry long and this is a pain. Would it not be better to have the all forum search to default into whatever phone forum you are sat in with a totally separate box for a full forum search, how often does anyone search all forums anyway?. That would allow you to Search in all categories in a phone forum at once, instead of having to go into each category and do separate search inGENERAL / QA/DEV etc. Often the answer you are looking for is in a ROM page and not in the QA or GENERAL.

Is there a problem with the forum search at the moment? I am searching for info on setting up a VPN and i've seen a few posts by browsing. But when I do a search nothing comes up???
I use google go to google.com and enter your search terms then the word site:xda-developers.com
example: "Diamond VPN Setup site:xda-developers.com"
I would try to look into this sections:
General
Development and Hacking
Networking
And there use the search, sure you get more than a few ones

Search Functions
Every Forum has a "SEARCH" option.
Main Forums allow you to search for specific Threads (a specific ROM for example). Or you may search for posts by a specific author.
You can also search for specific content inside threads. At the right of the search box is a "gear". These are the advanced search options.
Learn to use the "Search" features.

I always thought the foums here at XDA were little counter-intuitive at times as far as navigation, but it never really mattered that much.... However, now I am stuck and cannot seem to do something rather simple... I dunno maybe I am tired.... but I thought I would ask so this doesn't become an obstacle.
I am trying to find all of my posts in this forum (HTC One-S). I didn't see an option, so I went to one of the sub-forums (like this one: One S General). Under advanced search, I entered my username in the correct place ("Find posts by..."). The result is 40 or so threads...but each thread has anywhere from 8 to 95 pages. I appreciate the helpful information to the left of each thread stating "you have X posts in this thread".... but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to bring up those posts.
[Also, I now see the widget icon next to Search All Forums on the Main Forum page... maybe I can search individual forums though that.]
But can someone tell me how to do a search which results in a page of only my posts????
Thanks in advance...!
On the advanced search page there is an option that lets you "show results as posts". It will show individual posts instead of threads.
Edit: nevermind they seem to have drastically simplified the advanced search and removed a lot of options. Try going to your profile page and the "Statistics" tab, then click "find all posts by syntropic".
Scroll to the top of the XDA Website where it says Welcome, "_______" <------ your name. Click on your name. Your profile should come up in the "About me" part of your profile. Scroll down toward the middle park of your profile and click on "Statistics". There should be a list that comes up. Click on "Find all posts by ______" (Your name)..

This is not the place to ask this! Just use the statistics tab in your profile, it will show you all of your posts with a marker on which forum they were posted. You could of even PMed one of the moderation team, we are here to help.
I have installed the XDA aPP to be able to browse this forums quickly on my note 3.
But.. How can i re-arrange the list of visible forums..
there are lot of forums which I do not want to see in the search results as well while browsing.
Is it possible to delete/hide some forums, so those do not come into search results when searching and also not listed.
This option should be better for advanced users. :good:
