I appreciate I may be being thick here, but I can’t make the Microcosm search function work and have never been able to.
What does it do? Does it search through individual posts? Thread/forum titles only?
An example - I want to find the term ‘Fender Telecaster’, one that I know for certain crops up several times in the Guitar Nerds Anonymous thread. So I Search from the top-left menu button - no results. I search the Miscellaneous and Meaningless sub-forum which contains the Guitars thread - no results. Nothing until I track down the thread and search within it.
Is that really how it’s supposed to work, or am I missing something obvious? (not entirely unlikely, I’ll grant you)
Edit: I got it to work - apparently you have to return ‘No Results’, and realise (unprompted) that a Titles-Only filter has been applied, and you can remove that filter in the right-hand menu button. I appreciate all of that might be quite obvious from the desktop version, but it isn’t for a mobile user - I had to find a post about how it worked buried in the middle of the ‘What you can do with Search’ thread.
Would it be possible for the search results page Suggestions list to tell users that they can de-filter in the side menu?
