  1. Overview
    The same search mechanism is used to find both chat rooms and forums, with results being listed as either a forum or chat room.

  2. In a Web Browser
    Select the Find Discussion link from the top of the main window.

  3. In Windows
    Select the Discussion tab in the main window, and click on Find Discussion. Alternatively, select Find Discussion from the Search menu.

  4. Search Options
    Enter a list of one or more words to search for and click search.
    1. Match All Words
      If you only want to see discussions that have all these words, check the Match All Words option. Otherwise, it will find all discussions that contain at least one of these words in their title.
    2. Local Hosted Discussions Only
      If this option is checked, only discussions that are hosted on the Local DBabble server will be found. Otherwise, any DBabble discussions that are available world-wide will be found.
    3. Discussion Categories
      If none of the categories are checked, then discussion categories are ignored, and any matching discussions are found. If one or more categories are checked, then any discussion found must belong to all of the specified categories.

  5. Results
    After clicking search, you should soon see a list of matching chat rooms and forums. If there are more than 50 matching discussions, then they will be displayed one page at a time. You can click on any discussion to visit it.
