You may have noticed a change in the forums, and especially community.infragistics.com. Not only have we updated the site to be easier to use and find data, we've also added a bunch of new content! If you run into any problems with the new site, you can add a reply to this post with your issue. We have a short list of known issues at this point that we're working hard to correct. I will update this post as the issues are found and resolved.
Where did the search within a forum functionality go? The search located at the top right searches the entire community site.
IE: What if I want to search for ContentPane within the infragistics WPF XamDocManager forum only!!
Not that it's helpful, but I want to re-iterate the importance of the search within a forum feature...Absolutely vital!
(odd that such a feature was left out in the beginning; surely any analysis of user traffic would have indicated that this was used extensively by many users...)
There's no doubt about it, the feature will return. It's just a matter of when at this point. The last thing we want to do is make it harder to use this new community site, the whole purpose is to make it easier for you to find information. That was the thought when we coverged everything into a single search. We had so many requests for a "full site search" that we thought this would be a perfect place to use that. While I think that's still extremely useful, I agree whole heartedly that we need to be able to filter search results to a specific forum or group.
I'll see if I can get an update from Kevin on when we can expect the update. Thank you all for your continued patience.
Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!
Incase you missed it, forum specific search is back!
The ability to search a specific section will be published tonight during our maintenance window. It will be lacking one feature that will be added later but it will return the highly missed ability to search a specific area.
