Is there a way to SEARCH this forum?

Neighborhoods Stuff Marketplace Community SEARCH etc etc

Is it possible to search just one section? I want to search for something specific to one neighborhood... not all or Brooklyn. I'm trying to research previous conversations related to my question before I post something that may have already been covered.

Thanks,
Holly

Or something like that.

Ugh... really? That makes searching pretty much useless. If I post something under a specific neighborhood board I might not say the name of the neighborhood in my post. So searching that way may result in some information for very specific searches (restaurants, shops, etc... that only have one location and such) but not more generic.

My example is a good one. I was going to search for pharmacy information in Park Slope. But people that posted about a specific pharmacy and their experiences might not say the neighborhood by name in the post since they were already posting in the Park Slope area.

oh well... thanks for responding.

for the record, mamacita is right (except you don't need the + in google). if you add "park slope" to your search, it will also return hits from the PS board that don't have "park slope" in the thread, because they have "park slope" in the page title if there on that board.

(terminology may be wonky above. sorry.)

you may get a couple of false positives, too, say if someone on the Bay Ridge board asked about pharmacies but also mentioned PS, but frankly, most of the pharmacy talk i recall has been on the PS board anyway.
