	Advanced Search Can you please explain what is the purpose of selecting "Forum" ? If you do not know which board the thread is on how can you use the Forum selection? Quick Search is useless as it produces threads which are not in date order
	Researching: PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

	I agree GB. It would be better to have an option to search 'all' forums, otherwise you have to go through each board separately. Very time consuming. Cx

	At least you can do an advanced search without putting the boardname in, so really its like the keyword search which has now gone from the top of each board. The quick search also will also repeat threads
	Researching: Nothing much

	selecting Forum could help some IF they new what board to look on however their is no option to select "all forums" so you would have to repeat your search 8 times to cover all Forum's Roy

	Quick search needs some work Posted on a thread less than 30 mins ago and I thought I would try out a quick search on the surname which is part of the thread title. Got 119 search results in no particular date order and not the one I had posted on

	I don't get it, if I put in adv search the full title of a thread "Do the birds know bird watch thread " on page 4 on General at the moment, it comes up, however if I just put "Do the birds" or "birds" then it doesn't come up at all :-S

	Until they change it to have the option to search for all boards, couldn't they make the default something other than Announcements? Preferably Find Ancestors.

	Could the "Search for Author" be altered to include the option of board name
