I've reached the point where I'm going to struggle to think of things to cover that need to be covered. So once again if I miss something feel free to ask me any questions and I'll do my best to cover them unless they're something that I'm intentionally waiting on the transition to be complete before writing about.

Let's talk search bar. These new clubs have a search bar. I admit, I haven't gotten used to it being in existence so I haven't had a chance to truly explore it. Thus I'm going to be learning at the same time I type this portion up. Clicking on the magnifying glass on the header will bring up the basic search bar.

If you're on a specific club it'll default to searching within just that club. Typing in what you're searching for will generate the advanced search options while also giving you a breakdown of what you're searching for in that club.

In this particular case I searched for myself and it generated 42 responses. You can also get to this screen without searching anything first. If you uncheck the box that asks you to search that club, then the options button will appear. Clicking on that will bring you to this same page without any search results. Either way, you're going to end up on this screen. So let's go over the tools on the right hand side.

Posted By will allow you to refine the search for posts created by a specific user. I tested it a couple times and couldn't find a way for you to search two users at once, so you can only search one user at a time in terms of thread creation, but you can include other users as a keyword, it just won't search a thread created by them. At the end of this I'll put a screen capture of a random search so you can see how things are imputed into the search bar, thus you can do them manually if you're so inclined.
