How to search for a topic

Is there a search tab anymore so I don’t have to start a new topic?

For desktops and laptops, the Search feature is upper right of the thread or forum. It is the oval with the little magnifying glass under your user name. You click the little down arrow to see the various locations.

 

Make sure you have used the correct location in the drop-down menu for your search. Here is a clip of my choices:

 

And sometimes you need to enter multiple words surrounded by quotation marks - like, "Miami hotels" - you will get different results than if you entered just the two words. This is because quotation marks are used for phrase searching. That way your results will just be posts containing the phrase "Miami hotels" and not ALL the posts containing the word Miami as well as ALL the posts containing the word hotels.

 

Also, I know you know what you are looking for... but sometimes I try to think in the way someone else would have posted the information. Then use word phrases with quotation marks as mentioned above.

The search feature is on iPads too if you hold view Cruise Critic in landscape orientation.
