[FIXED] missing subforums in advanced search

Post by livelove »

In advanced search > search options > search in forums
some subforums are missing from the list, specifically "feature requests" and "report a bug":

It would be helpful to include those subforums, so as to be able to check whether a particular bug or feature request has already been filed.

Reported almost two years ago

I will cheerfully double-down on my additional suggestion

I will also request just re-including the bugs, feature requests, AND general questions subforums in the basic search (the latter two are also excluded, not just the bugs subforum, to be super-clear).
I can see no reason for excluding said sections. Users can just opt not to search them if the results from those forums are overwhelming (which I can't imagine being the case for the vast majority of searches).

Alright, this should be fixed up now! Let us know if those forums are still not available for you under the Advanced Search

I agree, but this seems to be working now as well.
Example: A simple/basic search for "subforums" finds this bug report here:
search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=missing
