    Advance Search on the Forum

    Most Forums have the ability to do an Advance Search and show results by post as opposed to by thread. Is that possible here because I'm not seeing it?

    Follow these steps: Advanced Search>Search Single Content Type (it's a tab at the top)>Enter search word(s)>Select Posts option under Show Results As field.

    This longer method (having to switch tabs) was introduced with VB 4.0. I don't care for it, but it's just the way it is now.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Maybe you have to be a registered user. I don't have the "Show Results As" field.

    You have to actually click the "Search Single Content Type" tab (default seems to be Multiple tab), then you should see the "Show Results as" option.
