      My question to this platform developers: have you tried to search in the forum? Maybe I'm a bit dumb, it's my fault, so please tell me how to search in forum/subforum, by date, view by topic and not single messages, etc...
      I'm sure you implemented these BASIC features and it's my fault not viewing them

      One rung above "basic" is use google with "site:forums.opera.com" on end of search it better than what the inbuilt (dare I even call it) "search facility" 🙂

        How does even the forum search work? Right now it seems like it only spits out random posts when I search.

          Please at least link google search when your forum search is yet so non-existent.

          the basic more than one word search redirects to the overview page. ETA ?

            There doesn't seem to be any developers working on the forum, so I wouldn't ask when it's finished, rather if it ever will be.

            When I want to search on the forums I always use google and search with "site:forums.opera.com <search terms>", and it works very well.

                Is it correct to state that the "Search" feature of the forum either a)Does not work, or B)Has not yet been implemented?

                  It used to work, although in a bad way.

                    I used it a few days ago, and it did work, but it's very intermittent and unreliable.
                    🙂

                    Still in mourning for Opera 12.........

                      I think he basically wants the forum to automatically do what I wrote about in my last post in this thread.

                        Do I need to use these angle brackets?
                        Ah, it seems you don't - just tried it 🙂

                        Another question though: will it work with other search engines? Like Yahoo!? DuckDuckGo? AOL Search?
                        🙂

                            i guess it will depend on the search engine.

                            Seems to work on Bing.
