How to search within a sub-forum

Hi All, sorry for the newbie question but how do I search within a Sub-Forum? I was in POSTGRESQL and there was an option to search within the forum. I tried to search 'system tables postgresql' but the results of the search returned alot of links in other sub-forums for other databases. I then tried the search in the topmost menu and the results were the same. Is it possible to search only within a specific sub-forum/database/topic? Thanks.

Try the search functionality here: www.dbforums.com/search.php

Thanks! Out of curiosity where is the link to that in the UI? I can't seem to find it...(man I feel so dumb)...it's basically the same as thescripts.com...

There isn't a link to it in the UI because it is the old search function, I am unsure why it was changed, however I bet another moderator or admin will be able to field this point!

Prior to the last vB/server upgrade, the php search function was unbearably slow, so iNet went to the Google search engine for us. Not as flexible, but, at least it DID return links.
