A "Search Forum" query returns results from anywhere on microsoft.com, except the forums. They're probably there, but buried in the slew.

Querying "forum" from the "Search Forum Issues" textbox gets me: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&q=forum

Hi,

Where are you searching from? (Exact URL). Seems to me that you're searching from this url. social.microsoft.com. This Site uses Bing/Live search directly because it's general Microsoft brand forum.

If you search from other branded sites you get different result sets:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=112&query=forums)

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Refinement=112&query=forums)

THanks.
