A few years ago, I had to remove the ability to search the forums for a few technical reasons. Without getting too bogged down in details, the latest Ubuntu operating system (which is what YWS uses) has made it possible to bring it back. To find it, just go to the forums tab and look for "Forum Search" right above where the list of forums begin.

For many users, you may be wondering what makes the forum search different from the "Search YWS" box you see in the upper right hand corner. The forum search will search every forum post for your search term, and you can also narrow it down forum by forum. On the other hand, the "Search YWS" box uses Google, which you can't narrow down and which also does not index every single forum post.

What if it casually and accidentally mysteriously disappears just at the time of the said Scavenger Hunts?
