Solved Search sucks

[BantyChooks]

Hey.... Since you're here... Is there a way to search within a thread? Just curious.

On desktop version, yes. Mobile, not yet, but we're working on that

Thanks! I'll keep trying to find it, then.

Open the thread you want to search and hover over the search button to open it. Tick the box that reads Search This Thread Only. Presto!

We currently have two search options.

The "default search": https://www.backyardchickens.com/search/

and a recent upgrade we're testing: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threadloom/search

I do a search in quotes using the new search (to avoid the spell-checking change of fees to feed) and get this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threadloom/search?query="pt fees"&tab=618

The only results I get are this thread.

If I use Google search: No results found for site:backyardchickens.com "pt fees".

You guys work so hard to make this site pleasurable for all! Thank you for your efforts.. I am enjoying the fruits of your labor! Sweet fruit it is!

Doesn't show like that for me, I don't think my screen is wide enough. Oh well.

@BantyChooks The button next to Store and Account with the 3 lines. Click on that, that might be where the search button is hiding.

instead of using initials, type out the words, even if you spell them wrong, you should get the results you want.

I am on my tablet most of the time. Always outside on the go, with a squeezed or limited option experience. However, when I hop on my husband's pc, it's like a totally new site for me since I have programmed my mind to one format and then seeing another makes me stay longer exploring all the things I am deprived from with my tiny android tablet.
I get on there to post a couple pics he works on and that only takes a few mins. But I get mesmerized and stay longer... Looking at missed stuff.
I find myself re visiting places I have been and seeing things I missed.. Kinda cool in a way.
