There is a search function in the upper left hand corner, right above the Marketplace icon:

Yes, it is written in Dutch, but we are an international crowd here. :wink:

To search a specific user's post, click on the "Profile" button under their post. This open a window which will direct you to where you can search for their posts.

Please remember, you will not have full use of all features until you are an established member.

Hope this helps and welcome to GO!

Thanks for the welcome~
I've tried that...and it's a general google search, even though it says "Search GemologyOnline".

I'm wanting to search topics within your fine forum, friend.
Can that be done?

No, it is NOT a general Google Search, it lists Google results on this site.
Also, there is another search function built into the site at the top of the page:

What precisely are you trying to find?

You can specify websites in the regular Google search bar.

Ex: ethiopian opal, site:gemologyonline.com

I suspect this is what the embedded search bar on the site is doing, but if you don't like the way the results look you can try it from Google's home page.
