Why has searching the forums been made so difficult?

In the old forums the search defaulted to the forum you were in. Now it searches across all forums and one has to then go and refine the search to the forum that one wants. Frustrating in the extreme.

Needs tweaking. And it will be getting it in time. A lot of people are requesting it.

    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?

  • Why has photoshop cs6 extended been installed on my machine without me asking for it?

    Why has photoshop cs6 extended been installed on my machine without me asking for it? Now, every time I start photoshop, I get this splash screen that ask me to join CC, or "to license this software," or "to continue trial." How do I get rid of all this and get back to my "normal" photoshop CS6?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Tip: searching the forum with user name

    Hello,
    The forum software was recently upgraded. Unfortunately, very important and useful feature – searching the forum according to user name or user ID – was actually downgraded. It was simply removed from the user interface, and by that can seriously impair the daily “work” of all the users.
    The odd angle of this issue is that it seems that the searching capability was not removed from the search engine itself, just from the user interface. The searching URL recognize a parameter called ‘&userID=…’, and that one will filter the search result by the user ID (unfortunately, I couldn’t find a similar parameter for the user handle name). For example, the following URL will give you Joel’s posts with the key word ‘translatable’, in the last 90 days –
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?threadID=&q=translatable&objID=f137&dateRange=last90days&numResults=30&userID=148363The following will give you all Scott’s posts with the key words ‘page’ and ‘cache’ (without date limit) –
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?threadID=&q=page+%26%26+cache&objID=f137&dateRange=all&numResults=30&userID=57434As can be seen, this URL is long, complicated, and includes escape codes. In order to make it a bit simpler, I’m using the regular user interface to define all the search criteria available there, make the search and them manually adding, to the end of the search engine created URL, the ‘&userID=…’ parameter.
    As this parameter is using the users ID numbers, I’ve compiled the following liste, which include my “top forum users”. Everyone welcome to add their owns.
    User Name   -  User ID
    Scott Spadafore  -  57434
    Joel Kallman  -  148363
    Carl Backstrom  -  354238
    John Scott (Jes)  -  422290
    Denes Kubicek  -  15826
    Andy (ATD)  -  503936
    Patrick Wolf  -  132282
    Dimitri Gielis  -  570759
    Tyler Muth  -  283901
    Arie Geller  -  229120I would like to thank Scott for giving me the initial tip. I hope this will help us make better use of this great knowledge pool.
    Regards,
    Arie.

    Arie,

  • Grayed area to share...I have searched the forums

    Here's my problem, making a idvd, want to place one song in the project to play in pictures. Ok, itunes doesn't show up. Burned a disc with .aiff and and was told to add it to a project in imovies. Ok did that... now how do get it to share with idvd? The whole list for sharing at the top of my desktop is grayed out in imovies??
    I am guessing this is the only way I can get this particular song to play on idvd, correct?
    If I can get this figured out my project is done and ready to burn. New to Apple this summer...
    Sorry but I searched the forums here and couldn't find my fix. thanks for the help
