I've been away from the DNN projects for a while and am trying to catch up on some of the new developments.  Rather than asking the same old questions over again, I thought I'd search and read what others were discussing.  However, I continue to have trouble with search... It just does not allow you to search these project forums and that is severly limiting.

Example:

  • I'm in the forum and click the search button just above the forum module (not the one way up top).
  • I get the list of search fields with no "Search in" value specified by default.
    • It'd be nice if this defaulted to the current forum I'm viewing.
  • If I click the magnifying glass to select the folder, I get a new window  (Argh)
  • In the new window, I search for "Repository", the forum I'm looking to search.
  • Nothing found.  (Argh)
  • Undetered, I click the drop down at the top where it currently displays "General DotNetNuke Forums"
  • That does nothing.  (Argh)
    • I guess I expected the drop down to show all the project forums, but I get nothing.

Is anyone else seeing this same behavior?  Is this being looked at?

I am thinking you are having usability issues more than anything here. I am able to search with proper results, I just tested on here.

There is a js bug which requires you to use the up and down arrows to select the proper forum group, then click ok and it will list the forums available for that group, next double click one of those and they get moved down. Finally, click ok in the popup and there you go. This does not work outside of IE.

As for search changes, the popup is gone. It is replaced with an inline treeview and a user lookup we are still working on, but it will be inline as well. I am also looking into what else can be done to improve search but additional items may be pushed to a future release.
