How do I tell the forum to return search results as posts? I have never understood the ridiculous logic of setting the forum search default to "topics". When people are searching, they are looking for a specific word or phrase. What pattern of thought on earth would make sense to return a bunch of 14, 5, 2, 11 page threads where that phrase may appear midway down the page on page 7, page 2, page 11? And forcing the user to spend 15 minutes looking for it? I'll never understand this, but all the forums default to "Topic" view search results.
I dont see the option to select results as "Posts". Usually its a radio button on the advanced search page. Is this a setting in the ACP?
Secondly, I am trying to do a search for a web site name that undercover spammers keep typing, pretending to be legitimate users. Example, they will type this: "I found your ideas on happypizzasite.com and I decided to try it out". I tried doing an advanced search for "happypizzasite.com" and one for "happypizzasite". Both returned a Topic list of results. I clicked the first Topic which had four pages. On none of the pages did either of these exist. In fact I did a CTRL+F for just the word "happy" on each of the 4 pages and never found one instance. Suggestions?
Thanks
