    Does search skip Space Junk or something? Nothing from SJ ever comes up.

    Now, don't get me wrong, it's a good thing if you do a regular search in the forums, but if I go to advanced option and select to only search through SJ it should work.

    So, is there a way to have it search through SJ when selected or is it some all or nothing kinda deal?

    Well considering nothing counts in Space Junk, there'd be no reason to complain/protest/point fingers/care about duplicate topics.

    Wait, so search is only for finding duplicate topics?
    I've been doing it wrong all the time!

    Er.

    Duplicates, similar ones, or ones you just need to find.

    Any reason you would require a site wide search, is why it is there. For whatever reason it be. Though there should be a SJ option in it.

    I see why it'd be blocked from site-wide searches, but if it's possible there should be an option to include it or separate SJ search

    Ah ha, there is a search function for a specific board, at the top right side, right under the page number listings, is a search forum button. Which should probably be called search board, but still.

    Edit: Never mind, it doesn't work for space junk. Sorry Meee, I tried to help.

    I looked into this and I know what is happening however, I do not think it can be fixed. At most what could be done is make sure all new SJ posts are available to search. However I am hesitant to make any changes here because I believe there was a reason this was setup the way it was. I'll mention it the next time I talk to jon (assuming he is responsible which is no gurantee), but I won't make any promises.

    Yeah, changing that could make SJ posts count towards total and minerals.
