    Having the search thread field at the top right corner of the frame is fantastic. It would be great to have the same thing for forum and sub forum. The idea being that search is at the scope of the page you're already at.

    Good point, makes sense! I'll look into it.

    Found this: https://forum.unity.com/search/?type=post
    You can reach it by clicking on Search Forums at the top, below the subforum hierarchy.
    Does that cover your needs?

    I think there should be a quick search field for the current subforum at the top right (as the "Search this thread..." field when reading a thread), and just below "Advanced Search" would point to what "Search Forums" points to now.

    There is A LOT of sub-forums right now and filling "Search in Forums" list is insufferable. Please make it at least infer selection in that list from page where sb clicked "Search Forums" button.

    For now it's more time efficient to create new thread, possibly a duplicate, than to find answers in existing ones.

    How is this still not implemented in 2023...? There's no easy way to get to the target sub-forum in the "Search in Forums" box either :/
