Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 To do a search for a member, you need to select Members from the drop-down menu. I searched for a member and his name came up in the results. To search for key words in all topics, you need to select "All Content" from the drop-down menu, then type the words in the text box. Click on the word "search" and the default setting will appear. Click on that and select what you are looking for from the drop-down menu. Then, type the Name or words you are searching for.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'll tell you how I found this. I had several searches that I knew should have results and didn't. I knew that you selected Members this way. So, I took a look and my search somehow was set at Status Updates, which I had never searched for. I suspect that this may be the same thing that happened to some of you when your searches did not display appropriate results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 If the new configuration for the software is set to Status Updates (by default) then that is the WRONG setting. Pick the one that most folks would want as the normal search- I would guess it would be All Content. I searched directly from the (simple) search box and did not use the Advanced Search screen which is where a user can see (and change) the focus and the content of the search. Since the same simple search box then worked the next day, I believe I encountered something different that what you are describing. Good luck,GJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyMaverick Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Mine defaults and returns back to "Status Updates" every time I tried it. I have to manually change it for each new search. Thanks for pointing this out Allie, it is a little annoying but now that I see what's happening, I can deal with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just opened it and it was set to "This Topic." I just opened it on the main forum page and it was set to "All Content." So, I think it changes settings depending on what screen you have open.
