I know there are multiple threads regarding "Searching Forums" but I will start on this one. There are third party tools that can be installed such as google widget and freefind.com, however none of the solutions I have seen posted on Wild Apricot's site are able to search the password protected "Members Only" forums and that is what the main need is.
Dmitry has even posted in one of the threads that Wild Apricot does not use their own forums for this "Support" section of their website, but instead they use CommunityServer. The request/need for having the ability to search the forum has been going on since 2008, and it doesn't seem to be any close or more of a priority. If that is the case, instead of saying what CANNOT be done, can you find a way to post a solution as to what CAN be done.
If it is a matter of incorporating a third party solution that is fine, but WA...you have the keys. You need to give us or provide us the access to be able to use this third party solution if you are not going to step up to the plate and offer it. We all pay some sort of fees to WA, and it is useful in many aspects.
Should we really have to choose whether to search for a third party solution that might work with Wild Apricot or simply replace Wild Apricot with an entirely different solution? Keep us as customers by helping us find the solution that is needed.
