I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for old posts on certain subjects and the reason is I can never find the Search Bar on this site!

It's not a problem searching Health Unlocked but can someone tell me where I go to search PMRGCAuk for posts please?

Use Search bar above, insert subject .. and when replies appear, select PMRGCAuk - you may need to select My Communities if PMRGCA doesn't appear initially - but it usually does. It may depend on what you are asking.

The Search Bar is at the absolute top right of the HU page on a computer, at the bottom of a notification email on a phone and fixed at the top of the screen when you load a reply from an email notification on a phone. Does that help?

When you search something it brings up a couple of million results but offers you the option to restrict the search to fewer or a single forum, PMRGCAuk in our case.

To be honest - I find searching on google produces as good results as HU's search engine!

When I was fiddling about with the site yesterday, having received both your and DorsetLady's replies, I clicked on Posts and on the right hand side, at the top, there is a box that says 'Search Posts on PMRGCAuk'. Not sure if that is the one you meant but is easy to find, if only I could remember where it is!!

Think it’s a new feature - it’s on the posts page and shows above the pinned posts

Search..

Haven’t checked - but on phone/ipad on the posts page (before you open top one) it’s on right hand side of page. Should be same on laptop..

it seems to be replaced by related posts once the post is open.

Nice of HU to tell us 🤦🏻‍♀️

How confusing it all is! Whatever, I suppose as long as we can find previous posts somewhere, that's the important thing. I've made a note on my sticky notes for the next time🤞 Thanks for exchange of info to both you and PMRpro,
