Forum search function gone?


I know it has been a week since I was here, but what happened to the search function for the Forums?

I remember going to the Forum and then looking at the bottom of the page and being able to search just that Forum. Now I am taken to a generic website search function with a bunch of drop down menus and dialog boxes. This also removes the topic I was looking at (causing my weak intelligence to overload trying to keep my train-of-thought for the search), so I have to make sure I write down the exact Forum Identification and terminology to accomplish what I could do before just by typing a keyword/phrase into the Search Forum box.

Thanks

Well there's still the search box at the very top of all pages. In between "Quick Links" and "Articles." Every thread comes with a "Search this thread" at the top. And you can still search each forum, but I don't remember where the box is at without checking, brb!

Alright, I'm back. Just click the "Search this forum" at the top of every forums thread listing. There did used to be a box down though, your right. They should bring that back

The "Search this forum" box *is* the box - it's just in a place that is consistent with the site design, instead of in a random place at the bottom of the page.
