For searching the forums, there is a search page which can be found here:
http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/search.asp
When searching the forums, you have the following options:
- Search on keywords (all, any or exact phrase)
- Search for posts by author (i.e., member)
- Search for keywords in either subject or entire message
- Search the all forums (discussion board) or by a specific forum (i.e., Armor, Aircraft, etc.)
- Search within a specified date range
- Specify how you would like the results sorted and also the number of records to display per page.
Please keep in mind that searching will take longer than your typical forum page. It has to look through all of the posts to find what you're looking for. Due to the sheer amount of data, it does take a couple of seconds at a minimum.
