Hi Minnie, If you just want to search a particular forum, go to the first page of the forum you are wanting to search. Scroll past the list of threads, until you see a search box to the right of Today's Birthdays. Use that box for searching just one forum. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: Example...your posts found only at Suggestions.

There is an issue. Now you need to be on a post for it to work. If you are just on the Perennial Forum homepage (or any other) it takes you to Advice. It was brought to my attention on The Hosta Forum.

Just as with any search engine the more specific your search term the more relevant the results. Imagine what all you would get if you search "pears" on Google or Bing. ;-) So you have to be more specific in your search terms. Yes "pears" will pull up all sorts of posts from all over the site. It tells you everything you wanted to know - or didn't want to know - about "pears" or any post pears were even discussed in regardless of title. But search terms like "canning pears", "preserving pears", "pear jam recipes', etc. - things relevant to the focus of the particular forum you are using - gets you Harvest forum posts. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/harvest/query/preserving-pears/nqrw Dave

You have to put the word followed by the forum name, for example, “Cleome in Roses”. The best way to do this is to open the forum then search in the top bar. The system will auto suggest the forum you are on. I attached an image hope it helps.
