I feel like it's been a long time coming in getting any type of search option for the forums. It seems like, with rules about not reposting, it would be extremely beneficial to have a quick way to find out if your topic has been covered or not. Going back, page after page, is a very clunky solution and it would be easy to miss a topic when wading through lines of text.

It would also be helpful when trying to find a reference or a help post that you either forgot to subscribe to or forgot the page it used to be on. There've been a couple times when I wished I could find a post only to see that I will need to work through huge amounts of posts myself to do so... a search option could have found me a result in seconds.

Honestly, with the amount of activity we have on the forum, I'm incredibly surprised that we've been without a search option for so long. I realize that you can in some cases get lucky using google to find a post, but this is a hamhanded solution at best and a bit irritating to have to navigate to another site to search this one. I feel that, ideally, a site should keep you within its domain.

What do you guys think? Has this been answered before? I went back a few pages in this thread but... well... a search option would have helped me find that out!!

years and years ago there was a search option, but it stopped working for whatever reason and it never got fixed/replaced, and then the forums as a whole got revamped so the old search function wouldn't work anyway. i agree this would definitely be useful, but maybe there is some reason it hasn't been implemented yet (i.e. it would be very difficult/impossible to program).

This can be done by typing site:subeta.net into Google's search bar with the terms you want to search.
