Any search I've tried either goes nowhere, or else out somewhere general in RocketSoftware-Wide-Web.

Chuck,

I'm sure you must have tried this if so I apologise. I used the 'Search the forum' magnifying glass that appears at the top right of the forums paget and it searches the past forum posts as I would expect it to.

Can't search on mobile (latest Android with chrome browser)

Hi @Chuck Stevenson. To build on Jonathan's answer the search is global but the filters on the left let you get down to the forum level. Choose the U2 forum under the 'more filters' section.

@Aaron Glover, you are right about mobile - the search box and the menu are conflicting. I could use a good web developer's help! ;-)  We'll work on this for sure.

Thanks, David & Andrew.
It seems to work as advertised now. 
But:  only after I logged in 3 times.  I'd log in, it showed me logged in at the top of the page,  but when I try to do stuff,  i get asked to log in again.  that happened I think 3 times.   But now I think I'm really on.  Maybe it was something like that hindering my search yesterday.

Sorry again Chuck! What browser are you using? I've heard of some issues with Firefox so if that's in play here it's a great example I can share with platform team.

That said, glad to hear search is working now for you.

FIrefox on Windows 10.

BTW, this time again, I show as logged in, but "post" wouldn't take, hovering the mu=ouse over someone's name didn't work.  Went out/back in, stuff woks better.
If you're reading this, then [Post] worked, too.

Just a quick note to say mobile search has been fixed and is working!

We continue to work the firefox issues, so if you've experienced them please feel free to message me on what you are seeing. It helps if you add-ons to specify what they are, what version you are using, etc.
