Search Facility?

Submitted by Joyce Clayton on

A Forum search facility would be extremely useful. I have just spent a big chunk of time first of all searching for a Search button then hunting through various forum threads to see if anyone else had a similar concern to mine or even a solution. I would have thought a search feature might help eliminate the large amount of duplication on the forum and better focus responses.

Hi Joyce, Thanks for the suggestion. In the interim you could use the "site" function on Google to restrict standard searches to the iRecord Forum site. For example, type this into Google:

site:https://irecord.org.uk/forum "search function"

Seconded! Quite odd for a forum to be lacking a search feature. Especially useful in the verifiers section, which I assume is not visible to Google. 

I'm not sure what is meant here by "verifiers section", but verifiers can already search across all records they have responsibility for via the search boxes at the top of each column on the verification grid. These also support wildcard searching.
