Blog search help

Hi 

How can I search in one specific forum, without showing results from subforums?

e.g. search getting started general help and advice without results from prime and tutorials

In the 'app' version, when you start typing in the search box there's a drop down appears where you can select "this forum" or "everywhere" etc.

Just go in to the section you want to search and select "this forum".

In the pre 'app' mobile version the option was there somewhere too and I'm sure the full browser version will have it somewhere too, maybe in some advanced search options, but usually searching while already in a section would just search that section I think.

On the mobile Web browser version, there's an option in the search box (you have to select the search box first, then the drop down list appears)

When I do that all results from the subfolder also appear

Same problem, in this folder means all sub folders are included.

You have to start the search from within whatever sub forum you want to search

That is the point, I don't want data from the subfolder but the main folder.

Ahh I see, I misunderstood, yeah it doesn't seem to let you discount subfolders from the search, just tried some of the options but no joy, thought maybe adding the header text would only show results from it, but it doesn't work. 

I guess you're stuck scrolling through picking out the ones from the right header.
