do you know where to find/it did go?

Wondering the same thing here. Wanted to "search this forum". Guess they moved it to the app instead of copying it.
Wow, I thought I was loosing my mind...so others don't see it as well
It's a bug that admin are aware of and are looking into.

Not a very good option for someone who is having problems with there phone/device. I'm glad I checked here I though I thought they had dissabled it for me because I was under the 10 post limit
Iether way it is still missing for me as well. I also noticed that the advanced search is not allowed for me either... I end up with the welcome new user you need 10 helpfull posts to use this feature page.
Did they up the restrictions for "new users"?
thats an excellent question. I salute you for being different and actually asking it, rather than ignoring it like most of us.
Worst case scenario :
Use the xda app on ur PC via android emulator
THANKS if helpful

Same result here. I'm unable to search by http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php or by clicking the wheel cog icon in the top header bar (Advanced Search). The regular search bar at the top just gives generic non forum results.
Can someone tell me how one normally limits a search to a specific forum? Should that be an option in the "Forum Tools" drop down menu?

No, the search option is right next to the "Forum Tools" button you said before, on the left side. Or at least, it should be there..
Nothing at the moment, no tools for searching the forum. Someone told us to use the xda app on android but afaik its search function ain't working at all.
Now it is back, for me at least, and from work where I use IE8.
I'll see from home (Chrome)...
I just started using the XDA Android app, and I feel like a moron but I can't figure out how to add a forum to my "Favorites" list. I've tried long-pressing, looked in the menus, etc. But I can't figure it out. Is this some kind of test?

i have the same question
When in the forum you want as favourite, just press options and choose 'Subscribe', you'll get a notification saying the forum has been added to favourites.

Oh, you're talking about subscribing to a thread. I was asking about subscribing to an entire forum. I do have some individual threads in my topic favorites, but I don't see how to get a forum in the forum favorites.

Works the same way, you can also subscribe to the forum from the website and it will show up under your favorites.

Hey everyone.
First, I can't take credit for any of this. User mcmb03 is the one who found the thread and asked about it in the Q&A section. I went ahead and tested it out, and was able to get Google Now working on CleanROM 4.0SE, albeit not without its problems. (These problems are affecting all users, not just Sense users.)
Known issues
-Voice Search is broken
-"Show more cards" may cause a Force Close if there are no other cards to load. If you've done some searching, and Google Now has learned, for example, your favourite sports teams and there are actually more cards to load than what are on the initial page, it WILL load more cards.
- and possibly some other things we haven't noticed yet
To get it working, go here and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28226043&postcount=1
Then, in the same thread, jump to page 15 and follow the instructions in the second post down, #142 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142)
Happy Nowing!
EDIT: After testing for an hour or so, it seems like absolutely everything is working now except for Voice Search. Of course, there could be other problems we just haven't discovered yet.
so... most of it is broken? QUICK LETS ADD THIS TO EVERY ROM NOW!!!
Then complain about the broken stuff to the dev!

Wondeful idea!
Still better then stock.
Thank you
Turns out I was wrong about the automatic card displays. I was under the assumption that a traffic notification would pop up without any user interaction, but you've actually gotta pull up Google Now, and when you've got an upcoming meeting, the top card will show you your meeting info and a traffic report.

lol Red5, of all the mods of all the xda forums I've partaken in, you're by far the spunkiest.
And I wouldn't say most of it's broken. The Voice Search, which is obviously a huge part of it, is the most broken part. It doesn't work at all. The "Show More Cards" link at the bottom causes a crash. Maybe this is because I have no more cards waiting to be viewed, I'm not sure.
I do get automatic cards showing up with a traffic report when I've got an upcoming meeting. I also did a search for "Toronto Blue Jays," and above the web results, I got a Google Now card recapping the most recent game (the Royals kicked our a$$!) And now that I've searched for the Blue Jays a couple times, it'll be interesting to see if Now is really learning my preferred sports teams, and the cards automatically show up when there's a new ballgame.

You don't get a FC when you click "Show More Cards" at the bottom? If that's the case, did you do anything different from the instructions I posted in my OP?
You.mean the more tab at the bottom..the news,location..etc etc??...yes it doesnt fc on.me.

Nope, that's different. That's the "more" tab for search results. I mean when you open Google Now (from the app drawer, not from the widget), scroll to the bottom of your cards, and click "Show More Cards."
And actually... now that I've been using Now for an hour or so, I clicked the "Show More Cards" and it works now! It shows additional cards that may be useful to me, such as transit routes, the upcoming Jays game (so it did learn one of my "favourite" sports teams.)
So, as far as I can tell, absolutely everything is working except Voice Search. It really is getting more awesome to use as it learns things about me.
I hate to ask this because i'm sure your playing around with it at the moment. But any chance you could upload the Velvet.apk from the original post? (or will the second one work, it wont let me install). I'm trying to download it and wont get past 3.0
EDIT: Never Mind i got it to download, but i cant install it. It just says Install failed. Should i follow both posts to the "T", as in follow all the instructions from the first post, then follow all the instructions from the second post? Thanks in advanced for help.

Yep, that should be all there is to it. Do you have "Unknown Sources" allowed in your Development Settings? Cuz you might need that enabled.
I've gotta step away from my computer for a bit, so I won't be able to assist for a little while, maybe a couple hours.

push to /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r
So just to make sure, I don't actually have to install the app? Just download, rename it to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" (rename/delete old one as well), copy it to /system/app/ set permissions, then reboot?
Installed through instructions in second link from op, but get a fc when I open the app, also YouTube fcs for some reason

How do I do this?
Trying to find a thread I started. Even when I do a search under my username it only comes back with one reply I made a couple of days ago.
In your profile, statistics tab, you can find a link to all your posts.
Or at home, general tab, you can select participated tab which will list all the threads you have ever posted on.

I mostly use google to search in forums, cause the built in searchers suck badly. Try using google: arb76 site:forum.xda-developers.com
hi i always have problems in internet because of my traveling, thats why i always download custom roms whenever i get a chance and also it's first page of thread for any info i might need when i install that rom.
but i found that sometimes solutions to problems are found if you read full thread, so i got this idea of why not download a full thread for later use specially if i can in pdf format.
i searched google for it, there are many old questions of this kind but no i couldn't find any solutions.
i found httrack, it looks good but its far too complicated for a user like me, can anyone have a look at httrack and tell me how can i use it on xda?
or if there is any special software for xda which can download whole thread with images please?
any help would be appreciated,
no one?
I am looking for the same answer. I want to be respectful before just posting a question but some threads have 30-80 pages and there is always refer back to some other prior posts so I have not found a good way to catch up on a thread. I have tried reading from the end and going back 3-6 pages but I suspect there is something along the way in pages 20, or 38 or 43 that is relevant. If there is no solution, then newbies end up posting at the end of thread with what others view as lazy and not reading the thread. How in the heck do you download the thread so I can do a faster read?
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
no, thats not what i am trying to achieve, i want a full thread to be downloaded, like with all pages it have, so i can read offline all the pages. i can't save as every page if a thread has hundreds of pages. so it's not practical.
but thanks for you input. i would wait for someone who might know a way...
I'm also looking for a solution...

To be honest, I doubt XDA itself will want this kind of function to be availble because it is funded by various ads, ads that can only be seen and only generate funds when actively online.

This was the reply I got :
Eleo said:
I think what user wants is... getting an XML with all post texts including poster name/info (though it means attachments cannot get) as in when trying to extract all PMs from XDA site as an XML file.
That would be very long and huge size on 2000-10000 paged threads (even with 10 posts per page). But that could be very practical if possible

I understand but unfortunately it's not possible. The best way is to change settings to show 50 posts per page and use Chrome (or similar) to "print" and "save as" pdf :good:

Try loading the page, then right click in the page then choose the "select all" option to highlight all the text on the page, then copy the text, then create a new text file, then paste the copied text in the file, you'll have to do this with each page of the thread.
Or, you can use screen record and scroll through the pages and posts while recording.
