Searching The Forums

Why is it that when I go to a specific forum section like "Steam Community" and go to search the word "Overlay" I get results from all forums, not just Community?

I have an issue I'd like to discuss and I only want to discuss it in one subforum, and see if it's already being discussed, but this search method forces me to go through hundreds of unrelated threads.

Anyhow, the issue I'm having is that when I open the overlay in Dying Light, there's a black bar at the top with white text that says something like "an error has happened..." "click to retry". Looks like a browser bug or something. Is there a way I can flush the overlay browser cache or something like that?

Their insistence proves that they themselves never use the search feature because if they did, they would understand why people do not use the search feature.

If you're having an issue with a specific game, it's best to post on the game's forum. People will be more easily able to help you.

Anyway, yes, it would be nice to have a way to search a specific subforum rather than all of them.

RMB click on the game in Library > Properties > General > In-Game Overlay Data >>> Delete

It's not a specific game though, there are dedicated forums for that. This is intended to get Valves attention about the community search function in Steam.

That should fix the issue aside from the gripe.
