It seems the only way to search for a topic is to start posting a question, and the type-ahead in the heading shows a list of matches you need to scroll through. Not intuitive and not useful as I think you'd have to keep pretending to post the same question to look at other answers .... is that right? As others have posted, this forum needs a lot of enhancements and for HCL to say they're using a 3rd party product and we may have to wait months for resolutions is not encouraging.
That is right. The other way to search is to go to the home page and search through all forums.
A "Search Forum" widget for each forum is planned to be added in Q1 2020.
Curious as to why it will be taking another 4-6 months to add a search widget?
The search widget comes with the next version of the underlying software which we plan to update to in Q1 2020.
FYI, it appears that they have added a search option to the Homepage now. Thanks!!
