      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?
            also, @absolutelyfreeweb: I do not understand your post.

              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.
                🙂

                  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.
