KruisingKaren Posted July 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I haven't been able to find a way to narrow down a search to only the forum I'm in. Maybe it's because I use a tablet, so get the mobile version of the website. I want to be able to search just the HAL forum. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted July 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Yes. Go to the forum you want to search, enter the search term and click the line for “this forum” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwb101 Posted July 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If your browser allows you to select "desktop site" for the CC page from which you want to search, the "this forum" option should be available (but I'm using Brave browser). Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just click IN the empty Search field and this menu drops down: Simply change any of the black-background defaults to the choice you want at the time!

Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted July 31, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2022 To get to the advanced search options - do this - Double click on the magnifying glass in the search box This will cause the advanced search box to appear: From there you can select a topic - say a specific ship roll call: If you are already in the desired forum or topic - you can proceed as described by @crystalspin, @Mary229and @kwb101 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted July 31, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2022 One of the things that has frustrated me since CC's last major update is that Search appears very differently for me (using Chrome on a MacBook Pro). I so far have not found any way to narrow search to a single forum. It is not an option on the drop-down. What I see is this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is how the software handles the mobile version, and is designed this way (or is an option CC chooses not to make available). As I mentioned above, using the desktop version of the page shows the Search This Forum option. (Although I use Brave browser, the desktop option is also available on Firefox.) Good luck.

I have various options on my mobile device using safari. Each browser needs separate coding and I have to assume this is an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put in a search term "Rome restaurants" and select Topics as shown here: This is what I see under options: a very few forums are not grayed out. I know that there are many threads on the Italy Ports of Call forum on restaurants in Rome, yet that forum is not available to select. Nor are the specific cruise line forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you expand those grayed out entries? So you could select the specific forum(s) you wanted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
