Search

[Mark Thomas]

In case you are unsure how to search this site, there are two methods:

Search from the top right search box works as a hierarchical search within the topic/board/ category/whole site, depending where you are. You get results for the next level down. So, if you search within a thread for "Raff", you get all the posts in that thread only which contain the word "Raff". In a board (Composers and Music for example) you get all the threads, but only in that board, which mention "Raff" and a text extract showing the first mention in each thread. If you search from The Music category level you'd just get results for the two boards Composers and Music and New Recordings, while searching from Home gets results from all the boards.

Use the drop down menu to the right of the search box if you want your search to be wider.

Alternatively, wherever you are, you can click the "Search" menu option on the menu bar and that takes you to a dedicated Search Page. Click on "Advanced Search". Now you can customise your search to include or exclude the boards searched as well as a number of other common search parameters.
