Common questions

What is the forum content type?

Threaded discussion: mailing lists, message boards, community threads.

How do I search only forum?

Set content_type[]=forum on any search request. Content type is assigned at index time from page structure and markup rather than guessed from the URL, so the filter is reliable.
