How to search in this forum

Ok. I feel really stupid. I have been searching for the search button/field/section for months now, also googled it (not for this forum in particular but for this forum engine), and nothing. Also tried chatgpt. Nothing again.

I tried using a PC instead of my phone or tablet. Nothing either.

Where, in the name of Flea, is the search option?

Perhaps somebody asked this before, sorry if I didn’t search for it, but it’s kind of a chicken and egg problem :slight_smile:

Indeed, on a phone or tablet (especially in portrait mode), the search icon (the magnifying glass) might not be visible at all times.

I almost never use the forum on my phone. On the computer, perhaps your windows are too narrow?? Otherwise it should be up in the right corner, next to your profile pic/avatar:

Hope this helps!?

It’s in the upper right corner next to the menus, but it does not appear in portrait orientation on small form factor phones like iPhone SE. If you rotate those to landscape you will see it. This bug has existed for years.

Thank you @joergkutter and @howard ! I feel soooo stupid! Hahaha just turned the phone and the MAGIC happened, problem solved!

Perhaps would be good to have it in the FAQ together with the search-before-posting mandate…

Thanks again!!!

No you’re not, it happened to me ages ago with an Iphone SE.

Like @howard said it’s a bug and it’s not obvious.
