Search Forums

At the top of the forum page you will see "Topic Categories", clicking on that category will then display all the posted topics that have been linked (by their author) to that specific category and only those specific to that category. From that point it will be necessary to work your way back through the postings to see if there is anything that deals with exactly what you want. At present there is no search engine that you can just enter a keyword to find specific information.

Unfortunately if a topic author does not designate a category then those postings can only be found by searching all of the postings in the main forum.

Where do I go to carry out a search....cannot see where to search forums??????????

Actually, there IS a way to search all the threads.  See the white rectangle, upper right hand?  It's a Google Custom Search Box.  All you have to do is type a few key words in there, press GO, and VOILA!  You have all the threads with those words.

Be sure to include the country to narrow it down.  For example, if you just type 'bowling,' you'll have threads where bowling is mentioned in every country on the blog.  If, however, you type 'bowling Saudi Arabia' or 'bowling Riyadh,' you get only those threads.

The Google Custom Search is an extremely helpful feature that I'm sure you'll make good use of.

Happy hunting!
