On a mobile it is the magnifying glass icon on the blue toolbar above the posts. On a pc or wide display mobile the search is an oval containing the word Search upper right of the page under the user name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruisingKaren Posted October 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2019 On my Android the magnifying glass searches the whole site. Isn't it possible to search within a forum using a tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it possible to search within a forum using a tablet? There are two magnifying glass icons. The one on the CC banner searches the entire site. The one I suggested using is on the blue toolbar. It only searches the boards or some portion thereof. The white CC banner is always displayed. One may have to scroll to the top of the page to bring the blue toolbar into view.

I can’t speak to your Android, but using my iPad, the search oval you are looking for appears when I turn the tablet in the horizontal position.

I find it easiest to search from there. In any event, since folks mention that search oval so frequently, I wanted the poster to know how to find it on a tablet.

Never noticed that, its not there on android phone landscape but the search in the blue bar brings up the same function as the large oval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? I know my options from my iPhone are different than from the desktop; I thought that landscape mode was similar to desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the viewport size, which is mostly determined by display resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
