Seems to me that "search thread" functions got lost! tried that with Firefox, Chrome and IE. Seems that search was taken offline.
Any idea how I can search a thread? Thanx
For me, certainly with the tapatalk app, search is worse than useless.
E.g. search for xxlp2 and nothing related to that, in any way, is in the results.
Best to use google and type xda in the search, works for me !

Just use a colon between your search query and the site name and you'll get search results for this site and this site only.
For example
checkrom:forum.xda-developers.com
As I said in a similar thread earlier:
Its been removed because nobody uses it. They prefer to start new threads.
And no, I don't mean that about the OP. Search is down and the fact he's asking means he does use it
EDIT: I think they are doing some maintenance.

Well, I used it.
Please tell me how to search in this thread about bluetooth: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287
I've tried the following searches:
google.com:
bluetooth:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287
bluetooth site:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287
bluetooth "[ROM] [04.03]MildWild CM-3.6" site:forum.xda-developers.com
bluetooth "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287"
xda-search:
bluetooth "[ROM] [04.03]MildWild CM-3.6" # this works for many other threads, except this one
thx
EDIT: it's back, great

I always try to search before asking a question.
However, when ever I search on XDA I ALWAYS get irrelevant results. And sometimes, it can't find anything at all!
For instance: Right now there is a post "tv out cable" right here on the first page.. but if I do a search for "tv" it finds nothing. So I tried a search for "tv out cable".. remember there is a post right on the 1st page... it still says that there are not posts matching that criteria.
What is going on!?
I am perfectly capable, and willing to solve my own problems if I can. And I will search away until I find what I need. But how am I supposed to find what I need if the search function doesn't work worth a darn?
Thanks
try sticking AND ( in capital between your search words )
and select in thread titles only
searching " tv AND cable " in just the rhodium section brings up about 20 results including the one you mention at the top
hope that helps
It can be challenging to find what you are looking for and I applaud your efforts to solve your own issues first.
I was also frustrated when searching within XDA. Try using the search tool in my sig; click the blue letters. You can also try this one, http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=017695416373862181485:gvgyyqz72fk&hl=en
I like to do a google search like this:
TP2 TV Cable site:forum.xda-developers.com

i like using google cause i can switch between ppc geeks and other sites if xda doesn't show an answer. Not always the most up to date threads, but still very relevant information.
I find using Google the best option. Just type what you want to know with "xda" or "rhodium" added. The second works especially well since not all information on this phone is located on this web site
Use the built in forum search, not the google one. I find that it works much better.

I use google to but in the format of "site:xda-developters.com search keywords here" find it to yield somewhat better results then the built in search.

same here, i first try the xda search and if i am not able to find the desired results. then i just google it with XDA keyword.
Hello to everybody,
I have a small strange thing.
When I use ICS (or ICS+) browser on the xda site and wanting to do a search, here is what happens :
- I touch the "search this forum" button
- it opens the field below
- I touch the "free text area " to start typing
- I see the keyboard sliding up, and then as quickly, it slides back down and the search box closes...
as a result, I can not perform any search on the XDa site.
It does not do that with Opera nor with dolphin.
PS :as a matter of fact, that was yesterday, because this morning, there is not even the "search" button only the "forum tools" one... but I believe it is related to a temporary site issue.
Anyway, has anyone experienced this? Where could it be coming from?
Same here, quite frustrating....
Same here with stock browser.
If you use the keyboard dock it works. But when use a onscreen keyboard you cant type in this sorts of popup text fields
WOW, thanks for bringing this up. I have had this problem for god knows how long. I first noticed it with my rooted HTCEVO. I seem to have this problem with just about all the forums. Now my prime also.
Is it an Android thing? Did it work for you guys with a different browser? Weird, I havent been able to use the function for so long I havent even looked for the search, and now I too see that it is gone. Is it a Vbulletin vs Android thing?
Would love to know the problem/solution.
thanks.....
EDIT: I have a dock, but never tried the search function with it. Now I guess we cant, I dont see the ability to "search this forum". What happened?
Anyway, there seems to be something going on with the search function on the forum now...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528883
edit 05/03/12 : search function is now back on the forum. I'll try again the ICS issue, see if it is still there...
Search function is still not working for me on browser+. However, I know it's not ideal for a quick search, but if it's any consolation the advance search field works.
Kind Regards,

+1 for the "advanced search" option... bothered me at first but, one more click isn't all that bad...
It's said in the thread name. Is that normal or what should I do to get it right? I tried to search this subject but it's impossible to search as the search words are too common and I can't filter out the results I need. Please enlighten me in the subject matter...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. It was also hard to put this thread in appropriate forum, so if I have mistaken in that regard, mods please relocate the thread.
So nobody even knows is this normal or not?
Nobody uses Google Now?
So, 53 views - from which I guess 3 I can write on my own account - and nobody from 50 people uses Google Now... Really? That can only mean two things. Google has seriously f..ked up with the service, I mean if even one out of 50 people doesn't use it, it's definitely a fail. Or, a more probable reality is that not a single user from those 50 who actually has ever tried Google Now bothered to answer my question. This is EPIC fail, dear XDA-Developers Forum. It's not the community it used to be, where it was meant that users support each other. And that's really sad.
When I say view email it opens the stock mail app.

Thank You for Your effort! I am sorry, I wasn't being accurate in my original post. I was referring to the situation when I have a "package shipped" card in Google Now and there is a link below that - "View email". When clicking that one, I am redirected to browser instead Gmail app... I have Gmail app set as default for emails.
UP. Please someone test it...
Anyone?!
I have a x10 with fera volts gb 30.3rom. It has the viper equalizer/dsp. I noticed te apk had 2.3. for gingerbread. Just wondering if there is a jellybean version for my new xperia zl because it really improves the sound. If anyone knows cuold they post a dl link thanks.
No offence, but did you even bothered to find the name of the app on any search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, XDA forums search panel, or whatever)?
Anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451695
Have fun. And remember, NEVER, EVER forget about our little handy friend, named Search.

Lol.Yes I looked for viper google showed the viber voip app, lol Didn't realize the app was called viper4andriod. Anyways got the apk thanks for pointing out my google search failure lol
I sometimes get a notification which tells me about various applications that can be downloaded, I find these notifications extremely annoying, not only because I hate advertisements and put a lot of effort into stopping then on my desktop PC which I am very experienced with, but on the HTC one, when I get one of these notifications it uses the default notification sound, which makes me think I have a text message (sometimes at ridiculous times of the day) but instead it's telling me about star cam or some other crappy app. In this respect the advertisements are worse than on my desktop PC, as I never turn the mobile off in case I am being contacted, so the possibility of getting these annoying notifications is 24/7.
I don't know why, but I never had this problem on my htc desire HD, or the tytn 1 and tytn 2, only my htc one.
I need to stop these advertisments! I have tried going into "App info" for google play store to disable "show notification" but I don't seem to be able to find it except for "notify me about updates to apps i've downloaded" now this doesn't seem like it, because that only counts for apps I already have and only for updates. My problem is for notifications about apps I never had, also the app updates notification never seems to make a sound (Which is good) but this other notification uses the default notification sound as I stated before.
I have come across various apps that supposedly stop ads, but I don't want to get my phones resources bogged down with apps that may or may not do what I want and might not even work anyway, but I need some help please!
Do a simple Google search. This has been talked about plenty.

sigh.. always someone suggests google. By that statement this website could not exist at all, everything could be googled, the whole point of a forum is a more comprehensive and interactive 'forum' with which to ask questions and get detailed answers.
as I said.. I already know about adaway and other apps which stop ads. I have already done a "simple search"
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=android+play+store+app+advertisements&spell=1+
first page 10/10 all results come back with different apps you can download. None of them specify this particular problem and may or may not be generic ad removers.
Clue: description of number 1 app result :
The Google AdSense app provides an easy way to access key data from your AdSense and AdMob account. Access reporting features anywhere, directly from your mobile phone. The first version of the app gives you access to: the key earnings information (that are now also accessible via widget), top custom and URL channels, ad units and sites reports, payment alerts.
Please note: YouTube revenue and revenue from the legacy AdMob are not available in this app.

Wrong.
This is a development forum, not a help desk. Take the Google search course, it will help you immensely.
Also, you posted in the wrong section. Questions go in Q&A and not here.

Irrelevant.. a forum is for discussion was my point, that's still correct, no matter what technicalities, of exactly what sub forum you're supposed to post in.
Forum is for discussion still remains fact
Period.

But it is expected that you do your own research before posting. Period. And research would have yielded results. That's a fact.

It was already clearly established in one of my posts that I did in fact do research, that's also a fact, please refer to the above post. Before coming here I already checked the first 10-20 links which were all apps.
Obviously research yields results eventually, which is why I already tried that first and posting here is an extension of that and also another method of "research" which by the way is always my last resort, not because I don't like forums, because I do, but I always do my best to avoid the obnoxious and repetitive "google it" responses you get, even when it's obviously not valid... and that's a fact too.
I think that these aren't Google ads... This happened to me before after installing a app. I don't remember what app it was but the app was sending me ads for crappy ads... Check the apps you installed since you started getting these notifications
