    <p>Not that I'm aware of. The site search does include forums. </p><p><br></p><p>I will push this Q to the team and see if we can figure something out.</p>

    <p>I believe the search will only show you results for forum titles, not comments.</p>

    <p>see this forum thread: <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/forums/community-feedback/dev/thread/new-site-design-feedback&quot; target="_blank">New Site Design Feedback – Thurrott.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Of course, you can't search for it, so it continues…</p>

    <p>You might try using the site: search modifier. So go to your browser bar, enter the term you're searching for, plus the string "site: https://www.thurrott.com/forums&quot;. That will tell the search engine to look for results only on that site.</p>
