  Hi,

  How to I search efficiently for issues regarding a particular control? The old forums were much more efficient where I could select a control and search under that topic only or broswe looking for useful techniques etc. Also, have you ported ALL forums entries across? There was a lot of useful information built up in there over the years. I hope you have not discarded it.

  Gerry

  Hi Gerry,

  Thank you for sharing your views regarding the new Forums. I have forwarded the same to the concerned people.
  
  Regarding how to efficiently for issues regarding a particular control: You may use the keywords of the issue and in addition to that mention the name of the control.
  
  Like for example, you may search a performance issue regarding C1FlexGrid as “Performance + C1FlexGrid”
  
  Also, yes we have retrieved the old content for further usage.

  Thanks,

  Hi Ruchir,

  I’m afraid my experience does not tally with your reply. If I want to search for issues regarding: DataObjects…how Do I do that? Considering that component has more than one control:
  
  Do I search for C1DataObjects, C1DataSet, C1TableExpress, DataObjects… etc etc…

  I searched for “Reuse of dataset”. (this was a ticket I contributed to years ago).
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/en/forums/c1-archive/reuse-of-dataset

  I found the ticket. But I cannot find it if I try to apply a control (component) sub-search.
  
  Which control or keyword would I need to use in order to find the ticket efficiently.

  The c1flexgrid example does not work well either:
  
  If I search for “Current Cell” - I get 147 results
  
  If I search for “Current Cell +Flexgrid” - I get 6 results
  
  If I search for “Current Cell +C1Flexgrid - I get 1 results”

  What about other complex controls: Studio for entity Framework AKA C1Datasource AKA
  
  DataSource which contains Livelinq, c1Datasource.

  You have over 60+ controls in Winforms alone. Some of the controls have multiple parts (sub-controls) to them. Plus each of these controls have many years of forum entries. Componentone
  
  took a very easy, usable forums and made it obscure, difficult to search, navigate and browse.
  
  When I compare your forum to your competitors, I find that you are now miles behind. You seemed to have ruined a perfectly usable system for reasons that I cannot understand…
