Lets say I’m researching buying a coffee grinder. I would like to search !coffee@lemmy.world for past discussions on the topic before starting a new post. Same goes for this community and asking this question. Has it been asked before?

There must be some way to do this, right? I cant seem to find it.

    On the search page, in the community combobox, type “coffee” and pick a community to search.

      I had tried that before but when I search for the community from the drop-down there is no indication that a search would be limited to the coffee community. It immediately reverts back to “All”

      If I ignore that and search for grinder anyway it does seem to (mostly) be limited to the coffee community.

      This helps a lot - thanks!

        It looks like that’s a UI bug. It seems to search the community anyway. And you can select it a second time to make it visually stick.
