    This may seem as a dumb question, but how do you narrow down searching to a particular forum.   I keep doing a search and selecting from the drop down to search the particular forum that I am in, however I keep getting results for all forums.  There is probably some obvious setting that i'm not setting properly.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reporting. We have a bug on this. We have an issue with Forums search where passing a search within a Forum causes meta data value not being processed by Bing correctly. Our team is working with Bing on this. No ETA on the bug fix, however, we're working closely with the Bing team.

    Hi Prem,

    Can you provide the exact steps? I know we've been having search issues from our app to Bing.

    Yes, all I did was type the text that I was wanting to search on, and then I pressed the drop down to the right of it.  In the drop down I picked the first one in the list which is usually the current forum that you are in.   Every time that I have done this, I always get results from Bing that seem like it went out and did a websearch. 

    I have also done it without selecting the drop down and putting in text just in the search box and hitting the magnifying glass, and I still get the same results.

    Hope this helps.
