    Description

      In its current form the "Search" from within the community page isn't very intuitive nor very user friendly. Let's say the user wants to search some specific discussion within a specific community forum. To do this, he currently has to use the Search option on the top right hand corner of the page and enter the search criteria, but there's no option to filter out the search atleast not on that page. It's only after the user enters the search and visits the search result page, he gets the "More options" feature in the Search. This effectively means, he would have to re-issue his search by setting the correct filters this time (ex: selecting the author or the forum he wants to search). This isn't very user friendly.

      It would be good to have a Search widget (which doesn't consume much screen space) within the community forum page which by default has all the features that are available here http://community.jboss.org/search. Also note that setting the "More options" by default would be a good option.
