I have been trying to locate a post I made some months ago. Obviously after much searching I have found that P&RII forums ARE NOT included in with all other searches. What a rip. How am I to find what I was searching for? "search the forums" is useless when it does not include all forums.

It was decided quite some time ago, due to the nature of what is discussed in P&R that results from this forum would not be included in the general search. If you know what you are looking for may be in P&R, then by all means search that forum individually.

wfin2004, why would you consider this 'a rip'? It's Joe's website. If he chooses not to include P & R in the search results, it's his business, and I mean that literally. This website is Joe's BUSINESS.

If you look at the search parameters, it states at the top "Search All Open Forums". P & R is not an open forum. If you scroll down the list, it does show that P & R is not included within the search.

I would hazard a guess that in order to search P & R, you need to be subscribed to P & R, and set the parameters to "Search Subscribed Forums".
