What search features does Nabble provide?

Nabble allows many flavors of forum-specific search, and for every search, you can set up a search-triggered alert to get email alert for new posts matching your search.

• You can search entire Nabble, then narrow your search result by forum hierarchy and categories.
• You can search within a forum or category to include all child forums below.
• Your can find a list of forums whose name or description match your search keyword. The matched forums are shown at the top of the search result.
• You can narrow your search result by date.
• You can search messages by user. Click a user name link to go to the user's posts page, search from there. Then you can narrow your search result by date, by forum or category, or by both.
• Nabble search supports keyword stemming, i.e. search, searching, searched, searches ...

After making a search, you will see 3 small-font links behind the search button:

• Alert me of new posts
