Title: Consolidated Search option
Post by: mmccarn on July 15, 2007, 04:45:24 PM

Is it possible to create a single, consolidated 'search' option somewhere that will submit the same query to the forums, the wiki, and bugzilla?

Historically the forums have been the most effective place to search for answers, so most people start there.

Now, though, there are more and more relevant answers to be found in the wiki or in bugzilla.

I know that we are always told to search all three areas before creating a post, but I usually forget to search the manual, and seem to be unable to find anything in bugzilla when I look there...

Sure. You know as well as I do that anything's possible with enough money, time and talent.

It would probably help if the 3 apps were in the same DB.  I'm pretty sure that they are in seperate DB's but a search app could be written to search all 3 if someone wants to tackle it.
