I started searching the forum for “list sprites” and got no results. Tried “list item” - 0 results. I tried keywords I could plainly see in posts in the forum (Help with Scripts), like “google” and “sounds”. 0 results.
I am using the Search link listed under “Discuss Scratch” and next to “Discussion Home.” Where am I going wrong here?
Thanks,

Use the normal search bar (the one on the top bar) and click forums (or dicussion, i'm not sure) on the left side

Thanks, Plasma - that does work, although it uses Google search, which I'm not fond of for searching within sites.
Still curious what the point of the internal search engine is and/or what its algorithm is.

it not google search really it is google custom search which is made to search within sites but can search everything! this google custom search is searching on scratch.mit.edu only

Yup, I realize it's only searching on this site. I mean I don't like that search style and results output for specific sites.

But that's neither here nor there - I was just wondering if the search that appears in the discussion forum and has a bunch of advanced settings available actually works, or if it's a dud.

For what it's worth, the discuss search feature didn't work for me either. It might be broken, or it might be because we are ‘new to Scratch’.

It wasn't a Google search before, but they had to switch over to Google to reduce server load.
