Is there a SEARCH option on rootschat?
« on: Saturday 09 May 09 09:35 UTC (UK) »


I hate to post the same question that someone else might have asked, so I try to search different rootschat boards.  On each of these boards I review as many past questions/pages that I can before my eyes start to burn.  Then I go through as many questions/pages on the COMPLETED boards that I can manage.  I just went through 43 pages earlier today to see if my current question had been addressed.  By the time I finished, I forgot my question.

Is there an easier way?  Does rootschat have a SEARCH option that I've been overlooking for the past year?  PLEASE tell me there is a faster way!

There is a "search" button sitting between Shop and Profile just under the date.   Hope that helps.

See http://www.rootschat.com/help/search.php for some tips Smiley

the buttons there are still "old style" and you can now get to the links at the bottom
of the page through the new Library and Surnames buttons.

I have been looking at your posting  in  Armed forces, Ireland, & Yorkshire,doesn't look like you are having a problem replying to information given.When you say your looking at lots of pages to see if your question as been addressed?do you mean your looking to see if you have had any replies to you post. If thats not the reason what is it you want to find?

Celia:  No, sorry, I wasn't very clear, was I?  I meant that I didn't want to  "re-ask" a question that had already been discussed.  I was hoping for a better way than just reviewing past posts in numerous boards.  Nothing specific at the moment, just hoping to gain general info regarding genealogy.

Thanks for pointing out the search-button's location, and I have just spent many happy hours "searching."  (I might add, that things located right under your nose--like the SEARCH button--are often the most dificult to find!).

Questions are always being reasked on the boards and talented Rcer's are quick to find the previous links and post.
