ubonjoe Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just using the search box alone will give a result that includes the the entire forum. It is best to use the advanced search option that you can go to by clicking the icon that looks like a gear wheel to the right of the search box. It will take you to this page: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=forums You can narrow it down to one forum and select other search options. I normally do a search of topic titles to start with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OJAS Posted July 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Probably not a good idea to delve back too far into the mists of time using the Search facility, I think. Any longer than, say, a year and you risk receiving an answer to your question which has now been superseded by a subsequent Immigration "flavour of the month"!

allane Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The search function is next to useless. It returns hundreds of results, the vast majority of which have nothing to do with the query. Attempting to refine the search would probably take far more time than posting a question, and still give no guarantee of a useful result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempting to refine the search would probably take far more time than posting a question, and still give no guarantee of a useful result. And what's really the big deal here anyway? Strikes me that, in the majority of cases, there is little practical difference between an umpteenth answer to a question being given and an umpteenth lecture on the need to use the Search facility being delivered! Definitely better to be safe than sorry, I think!! Edited July 30, 2015 by OJAS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have constantly ignored overlooked this and did it manually The tip in post #2 with the "gear wheel" is the clue!

ubonjoe Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Did you look at the advanced search by using the option beside the forum search at the top right side of the page that a posted a link to. You can search by a date range there also. If you search by selecting only one forum it reduces the results significantly By topic title even more so..

The deal is that it seems that a huge number of people in this world, is so lazy and instead at least try for 5 minutes to find out something, they just jump on friends and friends friends, and this forum, to make the easy way out, letting others learn, and use them instead of their own efforts.... THAT was the point behind this thread!!! 90% users and 10% enablers... Glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksam Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I hate troubling mods on TV. I use TV search and also Google for any way to not start new topic. I have a question about re entry permit. Wanted to know if I need new one for every annual extension. Did not wish to clog forum so I tried TV search. Typed in "re entry permit" .. No results. Then ...re-entry permit....nothing Then ....reentry permit (yes I know no such word), had 214 hits. Gave up after flicking through first many. Also I won't post my question as I have already asked so many about non imm o path to extensions based on retirement.
