help with customized search in the new forums

[bbrendon]

Does anyone know how to do this search in the new forums? I used to read the new posts easily but now it's not easy.

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=21,22,24,25,26,27

Please use following search request to see updates on forums you need:
https://www.zabbix.com/forum/search?searchJSON={"channel":["21","22","24","25","26","27"],"sort":{"relevance":"desc"},"view":"","exclude _ty pe":["vBForum_PrivateMessage"]}

You can build custom search requests using Advanced Search page. To select multiple forums, use Ctrl+forumname in "Sources" window:
https://www.zabbix.com/forum/search?...7D&AdvSearch=1

Awesome. Thanks. I tried building a search like that but wasn't able to using the advanced search forms and I couldn't figure out what forum software docs to lookup. Thanks for all that!

I'll try customizing it more but thanks for the great start.

I finally got this working after about 30 minutes of trial and error. I would say if anyone is looking for a forum software to install... DO NOT use vBulletin. I think their time has long since past. The new ones are SO much better.
