Err, I just thought I'd try and search for something on these forums and there didn't seem to be a way to search only in the part of the forum related to my particular drone. Presumably I'm missing something, DJI wouldn't be so dumb as to only allow site wide search? There are I think 15 different sections, I don't want to have to trawl through all those search results from other sections - it's not helped either by the fact that I couldn't restrict the results to those posts containing only both the words in my search query by putting quotes around the 2 words. Presumably I'm doing something wrong there as well?

the Search function does NOT work, and DJI has never tried to fix it. best bet is to try and Google search with the forum in the search of Google so like Phantom 3 no image forum.dji.com

Use google.  You can target a specific site.  

For example from a google search bar, you want to find all the threads on the dji forum that are titled "How to search?"

Do:  

"How to search?" site:forum.dji.com

https://www.google.com/search?q= ... eid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

https://forum.dji.com/thread-129565-1-1.html

Just use something like site:forum.dji.com phantom 4 pro in Google

If you want to search for 'phantom 4 pro' on this forum.
The search option is bad on this forum.

I ran in to the same issue but maybe they'll add "advanced search" options in the near future.

Worst forum operations I’ve ever seen!   Double click, single click, search, et al.   I’m sure it keeps folks from participating.   It is a struggle for me.  Why we can build an aircraft with advanced telemetry and cannot seem to manage a forum that works 100% is beyond me.  Premiere products = premiere support.

Biggest annoyance for me is lack of LATEST POSTS clickable.

Wow, someone else uses DuckDuckGo for their search engine!
