The site search does not work very well. The trick is to use Google, like this:

CapSage,

It isn't the best search function, but if you search on just the PD forum with just "fava bean" as your search, it should limit you to PD related topics and specifically fava beans. Even then, sometimes you still get no results or results that are irrelevant so it is hit and miss. park_bear's idea to use the google search is another valid option. Gio was the first to mention that option to me and he seems to often find things that I can't, so that may be the best current option for us!
