If you look on your page there are two search options. One is the Forum Search right above the 'Topic List.' (I have found it to work quite well.) For example you can type in "Drivers license", "land Title", or "Visa Lawyers in Cuenca," "Avocados" or anything at all, and you will receive a list of the pages on this forum where you will find the posts referring to this. You will have to manually open all the pages and look in each post.....
Also there is the Google Custom Search at the top right, and they can locate topics on this forum as well. I suggest that everyone should give it a try before they make a post. Sometimes, only 3-4 pages before, the answer is found there.
Also, concerning sending and receiving of Private Messages, if you do not have a TITLE in the title box (fill something in) in your Private Message, you cannot go back and look at it, as well, the person to whom it goes to will not receive an alert, nor can open it. I found this out one day.
Just some little nuances of the forum.
