  • Hopefully I've posted this in the correct spot. If not, I apologize.

    I've seen mentioned that there isn't currently a way to search the forums. Well, no, there is not a forum search directly on the site. But I wanted to share a way to search the forums indirectly with those that may not be aware of it. It's actually pretty easy, and works quite well.

    All you need to do is go to Google, and type in your search terms. Then, add this to your search:

    site:comicbookrealm.com/topic/

    That's it! The google search will then limit it's results to the comicbookrealm.com forums only. From the testing I've done, it searches both the titles and bodies of messages.

    So for example, if you wanted to search the forums for Moon Knight, you'd type in:

    moon knight site:comicbookrealm.com/topic/

    Happy searching! Dancing
