the durn SEARCH function- help?
I used to be able to search pretty reliably on here for a specific thread, but more recently ( like maybe two years?) that does not work.
W
hat USED to happen for me when the search function worked properly back in the day......... I could specify the forum specifically. Now, I do not get that option. I just did it again, making sure I was in Kitchn Table, and put in Meta- this is the pop up I get.
If I click search in discussions,,, then this is what I get.
Anyone have any clues?

Comments (6)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...See MoreSearch function
Comments (4)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....See MoreDo you use the search function on Houzz?
Comments (44)Given how much content Houzz has now, they really need to fix their search system. Even searching for their own articles (stories) is useless. I put in a search for "Heating off-grid house". The first article that showed up was "House Rule: Off With Your Shoes". Really? How exactly is that relevant? I'm sure Houzz has lots of relevant content to offer me, but if it's impossible to find, what's the point. I have much better luck searching through Google, which sometimes takes me back to Houzz, but often doesn't. Hey Houzz - you are losing your audience because of your crappy search queries....See More

Here's what I got, and my URL is gardenweb.com
And I think that adding a space after the a in meta might make a difference too.P.S. In G'web, the search window actually says 'Search in Gardenweb' before you enter anything, and Annie's thread was the first hit.
