the Community Help forum. If I go there, there's a search function which you can easily manipulate to search just as you would in the regular desktop format.

There is no search under "Latest Threads". But if you click on any specific forum - for instance, "General Discussion" - there's a "search this forum" button directly underneath the blue " start a discussion" button.

Search in forums (on both platforms) requires star membership.

But no general search on mobile, as there is on desktop.

Don't tell the admins, or they'll make you pony up to use it.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I am an advocate of free and open source software and almost 100% in favor of free information (i.e. except to data miners and surveillance capitalists)

Just checked and there's no search on the mobile home page.

I try to focus on making a difference where and when I can.
Stand Up And Fight! (GOTV)

Ukraine Humanitarian Relief

Short message and powerful.

Besides sharing photos and having fun. My humor can be very dry (as above, I don't always hit the sarcasm button)

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:democraticunderground.com

It basically just takes the entered search terms, adds site:democraticunderground.com, and sends it to Google. You can use the link above, and add search terms at the end when you get to Google's search result page.

The search built into the DU software is only available to members with stars.
