Searching for a "requested feature" it searches THE WHOLE FORUM :-(

[thomas.dahl]

I am searching for the request entry calling for undo/redo/print/print preview buttons to be added but when I try to search for this I end up with a set of search results for the WHOLE forum and not just the "feature request" section.

So, I have to create a new feature request even if it has already been added as I cannot find if it has already been added.  Sorry about this.

And, I have now seen that someone from Serif wrote in the forum that this request has been a priority since 2020.

Can we please have these buttons as option?  I beg you!

1. Go to the Feature Requests & Suggestions section of the forums;
2. Enter undo button in the search box at the top right of the page (don’t press ENTER yet);
3. Select This Forum from the drop-down menu (below the text you have entered);
4. Press ENTER.

Note: As mentioned by Walt below, step 3 may not available on some devices. However, see the advice by Patrick Conner further down this thread.

Note: That option does not seem to be available if you're searching from a phone, which I've found annoying.

Interesting; thanks Walt.
I’ve modified my earlier post to mention that in case people reading it don’t read any further.

On a phone you can easily search any selected forum(s) by changing the search from Anything to Topics and selecting all the forums you want to search.

I'm a bit missing the meaning of the request "Searching for a "requested feature" it searches THE WHOLE FORUM :-("
From the request text, it looks like a request to add some search buttons? Where should those buttons be added?

It seems that the user was simply not aware of the existing options to restrict the search to a specific forum. It's not that they need any additional buttons.
