How do I search xda for "4.3" ? Not "4 or 3" or "4 and 3" or etc.
I tried quotes, but no effect.

You don't. What you do is use ElGoog instead and in the search bar type
site:forum.xda-developers.com "4.3"

or whatever you wish to search for. The XDA search tool is fragile at the best of times, and downright useless most of the time.

Is there a way to manually launch the keyboard?
The reason I ask is I my partner visits one of her forums on Phone and when it comes to adding posts (using a system not to disimilar to these boards) she can't get the keyboard to appear?
Any suggestions?
If anyone needs to know the forums are on babycentre.co.uk
Press and hold menu I think.
What do you mean by "manual launch"? When you click in the textarea or input field it shows up - is that not manual?

Yeah - even if your not in a text area you can fore it open. it has some uses im sure....
its the same as the quick reply box on here. You can't get a cursor to type in the text box. Is there a workaround

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the post above to activate Quick Reply?
I suspect that the forum doesn't support the latest Android browser she used to have issues browsing the site when she used her g1 but she could at least edit the text box
It's ok I disabled javascript on her phone and can now use the reply box. Cheers anyway. Oh and holding menu did nothing on either of our desires. :/

One solution could be to manually relaunch your partner, but that is probably a more cumbersome and less satisfying method.
Hi I have T-Mobile TP2 with Illuminati ROM, but the time keeps on going back for about 4 hours, I tried to stop current location using a cab that I found somewhere, but the problem is the same.
(I use Jerusalem as my location)

Thx again Miami_Son
My text message button across the bottom of my screen has a green circle with a "1" in it to indicate I have an unanswered text message. Problem is, I don't have any texts showing up in my text lists that are unanswered. When I click on the icon it opens up my lists of texts. Normally new texts are shown in bold but I see no new texts or any shown in bold fonts. Lastly, if I touch the top of the screen to open up the notification screen I see "No New Notifications".
So how can I reset the text button back to normal?
look for fixunread.exe just run it on your phone and it will fix the issue

Call me retarded but I just searched for fixunread.exe on this forum and the search results were crap. Couldn't find a live link to the file. Where can I get it?

Since you asked . . you're retarded . . . just kidding.
Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6286965&postcount=2
I had to go to the 2nd or 3rd page of search results to find one with the desired file. Another good tactic when using any search engine, is trying various search terms/phrases (be more or less specific, use quotes to search exact phrases, etc.). For instance, searching "unread SMS count" yielded a valid hit, with the desired .exe in the very first result.

Thank you very much. I'll try it out this evening.
If you'd like a fix without installing a cab it can be done via the registry.. change all the following values to "0".
HKCU/system/state/messages/MMS/unread
HKCU/system/state/messages/SMS/unread
HKCU/system/state/messages/TotalEmail/unread
HKCU/system/state/messages/VMail/total/unread
Try to replace the search engine here to perhaps some kind of google search which would be a lot more intelligent and easier to use. ?
Thanks
Yup, we're working on search. It's not easy creating a system that can allow for dozens of searches per second, scanning 10+ million posts.

Will the new search, when it's available, use google by default so that we can search as often as we like? While I understand the current 30 second limit it can be frustrating sometimes. (I sometimes change my mind about the search criteria and have to wait, or decide to view posts instead of threads, and have to wait, and the list goes on!)

The box to the right of "Device by OS or Manufacturer" uses something like that (it might actually be cse )

Yeah, the one shortcoming of CSE, or actually its more a vBulletin shortcoming, is that there's no good way to search anywhere but the entire site.
Since each thread is simply given an ID, and the section is indistinguishable from the URL, you can't tailor the results to just search, for instance, "Nexus One Android Development". At least I haven't figured out a way yet.

I know of ways to do this, as do the admins
Looks like there is no Search Thread function anymore (Not the global search on top, but the other one)
I cant find my way in the XDA world without the search function
Probably something that will be fixed soon, just letting everybody know
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong part (it's about xda.com)
I still have the search button...
I have no search button also.... please bring back..... Pretty PWEASE
I mean the search b̶u̶t̶t̶o̶n̶ function to search on specific sections like on the forums of a phone instead of the global search. or do you have both?
Sorry, I thought, that a global search button disappeared to you. Forum search function disappeared for me, too.

Im missing the ability to search specific threads, with the built-in search. The google search function at the top works but i find it useless.

Yea, I can't find it, too. That is too bad :/
I also have this issue as well. As a mod, I would be worried that people start posting in wrong sections on topics if the search doesn't come back.

i have it in the upper right corner.

This is really the latest thread I can find on this issue of thread search functionality missing? Did they remove it a long time ago and I'm just now noticing... could have sworn I used it since May. WTF? Fail forum design.

Its just down right now... I'm sure they will get search up and running again soon...
Is there also a problem with the search actually working?
Lately when searching inside of massive threads, i would get results but then when i click to go that specific post, i would take me to the top of a page that has none of my results in it. This renders the search useless and i dont have the time to read through 300 pages to see if the fix to my problem has been found.
Search should be back now.
It is just there as before on my pc
Yeah should be back.
