How do I search?

[Mojobacca]

I've checked the FAQ and this is what it says:

Searching Forums and Threads
How do I search for something?

To quickly find a thread or post of interest anywhere on the bulletin board, click on the 'Search' link in the navigation bar at the top of most forum pages. Then, type in the keyword or phrase you wish to search for, and select either 'Show Threads' or 'Show Posts' to view the results. By selecting posts, you will be shown only the actual post in which the search word appears.

For more control over the search, select 'Advanced Search' from the drop-down box. The advanced search page allows you to restrict your search to individual forums, find posts or threads by user, or return results based on tags (?). There are also options to find posts from a certain date, or threads with a certain number of replies.

How do I search a specific forum or thread?

If you are browsing a forum, you can quickly search for a thread or post within it by clicking on the 'Search this forum' link near the top of the page (it's above the list of threads). You can also search for individual posts within a thread by clicking on the 'Search this Thread' link at the top of any thread view page.

Yet... I see nothing on any page (outside of the FAQ) that contains the Search bar, link, anything. Please help me! I'm trying to find a response to a post I made, but forgot to subscribe to (yeah, I know that's pretty dumb).

Ah, that is the vBulletin help about search.

Search is a very processor-intensive function, so it is only available to 'community supporters' - as a thankyou for their ongoing support of ENworld, and to keep the amount of search activity to manageable levels.

Fancy signing up as a community supporter?

Cheers

I've done a quick search for you, and I can find a post of yours at the end of this thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=230866

Cheers

Why thank you, Plane Sailing! I appreciate it and will do what I can to support the community as I can.

You can also always use Google (or other search engines) to search the site - type in (Google) "site:enworld.org/forum/" to search them. It might be a little wonky until the site is spidered though.
