This is a really useful feature - please don't tell me you've taken it away?!

Hi all
So we've improved the general Search function in the upgrade. Our research with users showed that lots of people used Advanced Search because the general Search didn't work very well. You can now do much more than you used to be able to do in the general Search, it's quicker, the results should be more relevant etc.
So there's currently not an Advanced Search option. But do let us know what's missing from Search and we can look at what more we can do to improve it.
PS - We've seen the reports that there are issues around the sliders in Search that we'll take a look at asap.

Hi @SueMumsnet
I really liked to be able to define my search to certain topics and date parameters. Can we have that back as an option please?
Yep you can do this. Put your Search term in and click the magnifying glass (or hit enter) it'll then display the results and a list of topics on the left hand side (if you're on desktop) or in the dropdown box "filters" (if you're on mobile). You'll find creation date here as well.

Yep agree that the sliders are sub-optimal. We'll find a better way to do date range asap.

OK Sue. I have tried to find a poster (me) on a particular board and the results take me only to the first page of the thread and not to the posts. Am I missing something else now?
No you're not missing something - finding a particular post isn't currently possible. That's something we can look at improving.

Hi all - just to say we're on this. There's a list of things we're working through but we hear you on Search and will sort it as soon as we can.

I posted this on the other thread but got no response. When I try to search I get this weird half-disappeared thing that does nothing.
We hear you everyone - we're working on it. Promise!
Can we just check what device and browser you're using when you see this? And double check - it's not clickable for you in any way?

@Lovesnowforever Just checking - you're definitely on the main site on your iPad, not the app?
