RangerMSP Tip: Forums Search Options

[Support Team]

To search the RangerMSP forums you can use two options:
1) The built-in forums search.
2) The RangerMSP site search (powered by Google Custom Search).

To use the RangerMSP built-in search option, go to the toolbar right above the threads list and click Search:

This is a built-in forum search option which allows you to search all forums by keywords, and provides also advanced search options (for logged-in users).

--
The RangerMSP site search (powered by Google Custom Search), is more powerful and may provide you with better results, from the forums and also from other resources on our Web site.

This search option is accessible from our Support home page.

Type the search keywords and hit the 'Search' button.
By default this site search option will show results from all our resources (including all site pages, documentation Wiki and our forums).

To refine results, and show only results from the forums, click the 'Forums' link.


We hope that you'll find this advanced forums search option useful.

The google search definitely looks useful. How about adding it to the forum pages where it would be more visible and convenient.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Interesting thought. The forums implementation use a dedicated forums software and I'm not sure about the level of customization it supports (thought it does let you fully change the look & feel). We'll look into that. Thanks.

This is better than going back through years of posts, but we really need more forum organization. vbulliten or phpbb is free, and scales very well.

We need sections. Now everything is just piled on top of everything else. hard to find things, even with search.
