Sorry not vb but I went to search subject line and that option seems to be gone. I'm at a loss cause my search words are, well everywhere. I'll repost my issue in new post. But please why is this option gone? Or am I just not seeing it.

Nope. It's gone. Weird.

I'll answer your question, not solve your problem
 
I've never been a big fan of TT's searching. Instead, I usually use google. You can restrict google to return results from a single site like this:

[tt][blue]
site:tek-tips.com Your Search term here

Well, you may notice that the whole form is redesigned. In fact it's a whole new search engine. And TPTB are looking into reinstating the Subject line option

See above

Were you aware that the Google Custom Search box at the top of the Tek-Tips pages does exactly that?
 
Yes. I was aware of that. I mentioned it only because the OP may find that method useful for searching other sites too. I know the Double D's having been working on the search for a long time and I'm glad they are finally making some progress.
