Description

This is probably already under development as part of the global site search, but the LILACers would very much like to be able to search through forum posts for our group. Not urgent at all. Thanks!

Maura, does the forum search in the new version of BP work? More specifically, does it work for the content of a non-public group like LILAC?

Hi Boone, I haven't been able to get it to work for a private group. You're talking about the forum search box here: http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/forums/, right?

Actually, further weirdness: even when I'm logged in I don't see my private groups on that forums page, only the public ones.

Thanks for the feedback, Maura.

The behavior you're seeing is by design. At this moment, BP search does not index private or hidden group forum content, and does not display private or hidden groups on the main Forums tab. This might change at some point in the future.

Sure thing. Thanks Boone!
