Searching the Captivate Forum

I seem to recall that this site had the capability of searching the Captivate Forum only. Is my only alternative to specify Captivate in the Search Forums box? This seems a deprovement to me. Maybe I'm missing something?
Thanks,
Julie

Hi Julie
When using the Search, type your search term(s) and follow by typing a space and +Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Search the discussions forum

so... we used to be able to search the discussions forum. Maybe I'm just missing where that feature went to. When I use the Search at the upper right corner of the page it searches all of Apple.com, but strangely enough rarely hits the forums. Please point me in the right direction.

Read this announcement from the main discussions page:

Navigating the Captivate forum

There appears to be no link back to the main Captivate forum category page from within an internal forum/post page. The breadcrumbs don't get there. As far as I can tell, one must go all the way back to the general Adobe forum center, then re-enter the main Captivate forum page. Am I missing something?

Here's some more info...
It appears that the same breadcrumb name behaves differently depending on which page you're on.
For example, if I'm starting on this topic page, the breadcrumbs are:
Adobe Forums > Adobe Captivate > Adobe Captivate > Discussions
The first "Adobe Captivate" link (http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate) leads to the main Captivate category page. This is as expected.
If I click the "Discussions" link, I am taken to this page: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate/adobe_captivate_general?view=discussions , which has similiarly named breadcrumbs:
Adobe Forums > Adobe Captivate > Adobe Captivate
But the links are different. Now the first "Adobe Captivate" link URL is http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate?view=discussions, which is not the Captivate category page, but rather an aggregate of various Community Help posts.
It appears that Adobe is mixing up the regular "Forum" pages with the "Community" pages. Both use the word "community" in their URLs, which makes it even more confusing. (To be honest, I can't quite understand why there are both Forum and Community areas, and it appears Adobe is confused by them too).

Is there any way to search the Firefox forum?

The forum looks like it might contain some useful info but paging through it seems a pretty hard way to find it.

Thanks for the quick answers. It looked to me like I was just searching standard help. Unfortunately, I didn't find, yet, help with my two issues. So I may have to ask new questions. If I get resolutions this fast, I'll be just fine.
Thanks again.

Has the SDN forum search facility changed?

When in any of the forums I used to be able to search in relation to the forum area that I was in. However, that option seems to have gone and I only have the option shown in the top right corner to search the all forums. For example, when in the CRM WebUI forum and search for 'Remove button from toolbar' I get loads of ALV/ABAP postings from another forum area.
There used to be another search option for the particular forum you were in. Am I alone in not being able to see this?.
I noticed that this sudenly happened about a month back.

I'll try the solution suggest above, but I should not have to.
One of the prerequsites steps is for us to check SDN before raising a support call. The way the site works now makes this a little harder, or at least more effort.
Regards to all.
I'm sure they'll get it sorted, eventually, especially as we are possibly raising a few more support calls now as many people can't be bothered to go through the extra effort to try and find a solution using SDN. So I guess it's in SAP's favour to get this working ASAP.

Restrict search to the PSE forum

Can I restrict a search to the Elements forum? The "Search Forums" searches the CS forum too.

Thanks Barbara. As I feared!

Why is the Flash forum so slow? Just me?

This isn't necessarily important and I'm not complaining
(yet), but I was wondering if anyone else is finding that the Flash
forum pages load incredibly slow. I find myself staring at a blank
page with a full progress bar for very long periods of time,
sometimes needing to hit the refresh button to jump start the
process with limited success. In contrast, the Photoshop and
Indesign forum pages load quickly. I notice the Captivate forum
pages also load slowly and both it and the Flash forum have
"cfusion" in their address. That, plus their different look, make
me guess that these forums are the original Macromedia forums
ported to the Adobe site. Whatever the reason, they perform much
differently for me and I find using the Flash and Captivate forums
to be tedious and frustrating as a result. Can anyone explain this?
Is anyone else even experiencing this? Can Adobe fix this?
So many questions. Anyway, I figured I'd throw it out there
and see if anyone else jumps in.

Here here!
"I haven't seen any other Forum on the WORLD WIDE WEB being so slow/unstable?" - exactly how I feel too!!!
Error 404 many times each day and loosing posts due to "internal error" or what have you! I have mailed a few times to "webmaster" but nothing...
I think this is really bad PR, but what do I know ;)

Any way to search a particular forum?

I suppose I should know this by now...
I can't find a way to search a particular forum.
I do see the "Search Communities" in the upper right, but it is too broad. Example: Right now I'm trying to search the Pages forum for information about the format sidebar in the new 5.0 version, but I'm coming up with threads from 7 years ago in unrelated topic areas.
Am I missing something?

How do I initiate the results from a particular forum? Other than by using the general search box in the upper right?
Donnie ~ Perhaps there's a better way, but this is how I do it...
Click on THIS and bookmark it as a general ASC search for future use. Then put an "x" in the search field and in the Restrict to a Community field, type in Pages and choose which Pages community to search and click Search. Then bookmark it as a Pages search for future use.

1. How can we search the Forum to see if a question has already been asked? 2. Can I send a Web Page and not just its Link?

1. How can we search the Forum to see if a question has already been asked? Search goes back to Help and out of the Forum.
2. Can I send a Web Page and not just its Link? Explorer allows it.

I don't want to submit a #@$%^& question! I just want to search the forum for answered questions.

Why is Apple such a freaking control freak?
Hey Apple—quit fixing s**t that isn't broken!

You could use google. If you want to only search these discussions forums use the following syntax in a google search:
whatever you are searching for site:discussions.apple.com
Update:
Why is this questio/discussion in Cinema Displays when it should have been in Using Apple Support Communities?

Dear Oracle: PLEASE improve the SEARCH on these forums!!!

Subject: Dear Oracle: PLEASE improve the SEARCH on these forums!!!
I have been getting frustrated using the search on these forums. I find the content very useful (especially as I cannot seem to find any other forums for Oracle Portal) but the search facility is very poor.
Firstly, the Search will on search for an exact match in the body of the messages, not the subject at all! This is very annoying as people usually sum-up there question in the subject and often do not repeat the subject in the message.
Secondly, the search looks for exact matches of your search string, so searching for more than one word become difficult. Bascially, it does only an exact match, not a word search, so forget about using keywords to search on as you would do in every other search engine and be very carful of the order of your words, you'll get a completly different set of results by swaping the order of your words... :(
eg. Selecting "ALL FORUMS", try searching for "Customizing Change Password Page". no hits? ok try "Customizing Password" still no hits? ok try "Customizing the Password". still no hits? ok just try "customizing". You get 10 Pages of 20 (Oracle conviently puts them over 10 pages so you cannot view them all on a html page and do your own secondary search using CTRL-F). Well, this is too many, lets just try "Change Password". again 20 x 10+ pages. At least this time we've got some that also have the work customizing in the subject. If only we got here on the first search... Don't even think of adding the word "PDK" or "Example" to your search...
I have already provided feedback to Oracle on this matter (and am still waiting for a reply). If you would also like the search improved, please also send Oracle some feedback and make this forum more useful. If enough people pester them they might think it's important enought to change. link below:
http://otn.oracle.com/contact/htdocs/feedback.htm
Cheers,
Tim.
P.S. In the meantime, does anyone know of any other good Portal forums?

Couldn't agree more, if only the search was as good as on Metalink...

How can I search the forum?!!!

1. Cannot see a search box on the support forum.
2. Do I need an download manager for Firefox? I use Mac OS X

# You can use the search field at the top of this page, or for some more options you can use the advanced search - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?a=2
# Firefox has a built-in download manager - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Downloads+window

How can you search this forum without searching all the other forums

how can you search this forum without searching all the other forums at the same time which is a big fat waste of time.

Follow this tip to create a bookmark to a search page that searches only the forum you want or...
Browse with Firefox and enable this Greasemonkey script, which forces all searches from a sub-forum to be local.
