Search default (threads or posts)
 

Is there any way to make a search default to returning results as posts rather than threads? I have a tendency to forget to check the posts option and then have to wait 60 seconds before I can search again.....

We do not see an option for that.

(And we think most people prefer their results to be in thread form.)

If you can find out a way to have that set per user let us know.

I thought mods didn't have this restriction... Mike?:confused:

It works out OK, I just need to remind myself a couple of more times and I'll remember to do it....

Well, once upon a time (about three versions of the forum software back, when I had mod powers), I could've sworn that I faced no such limits.:unsure:

how much would it hurt if the 60 second limit was reduced?

I see it's changed to 30 seconds now. Also much better if there was a typo in your input.
