Is there a way to search through the forum discussions for a specific topic? Search bar needed!

Hi!

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to search through the past discussions on the forum for specific keywords or queries and sort them by date? So many near identical questions turn up on a daily basis that I think such a tool would be greatly appreciated!

That's all, have a good day!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post but there is a search bar right up top. You can sort the results. It's not the greatest search or sort function since etsy seems to struggle with search things in general but its there.

My mistake! I just blindly scrolled down every day I suppose, no joke!

And when you post on any of those threads you will be shamed for posting on an old post and it will be closed. Good enough to read. Post at your own risk.

@hopeandjoystudios  100% truth! Helps if your answer is there but that's exactly what they do.

I wonder if other people scroll down past the search bar as I do because they see the nice pictures in the featured discussions section (Ooh pictures!). I only just noticed the search bar when reading over my comment thread for typos and noticing the search bar directly over it. Facepalm moment!

Maybe there could be a FAQ section (is there one that I haven't noticed?)
