Search function

[StarLars]

Poke me for finding me ignorant or thinking i do not look up the forums enough, but i can't seem to find the search function here on diabloii.net.

I have found a few topics that mentioned to use the search function but try as i might, i still didn't find none. And i need it to stroll through the 500+ pages finding the right topic of choice.

Hell, this thread might even be in the wrong section, but blame me for not knowing where to place it (it's still called the Newcomer Forum).

So, if there already is a place where it's explained how to search, please redirect me.

Thanks in advance.

In the forum page it's above the columns with the number of replies and views, near the right top. Look for text "search this forum". Click on it and you can either enter e phrase or do an advanced search with more options.

Sometimes the search function is not available, e.g. when there are forum problems.

BTW, if you enter too common words, the search function will fail and nothing will happen. Example: "Armor" in the trade value forum.

The search function can be useless at time due to the high useage of short abbreviations on the forum and the refusal of the search engine to include short words in the search. even if you try to use a phrase in quotation marks it will drop out the short words from within the quotation marks.

Thx for the tips everyone.

And guess what: when i logged in it magically appeared.
Strange, because i remember someone saying that logging in will let you search, but it didn't work for me back then. Guess it was a forum problem.

I never even noticed the "search this forum" button before.
