Hey Kevin,

You can’t really do it effectively from the app, but in a browser on the MP home page, you can search the forums in the same field you’d search for routes. In the results, you can select only forum results. The default sort method is completely useless, but I usually sort by “newest”.  There’s a lot of stuff that gets listed and then buried, so there’s potentially a lot of stuff available but not easily found. Cheers, and good luck!

Another way to search is to use google (or another search engine) with the "site:" operator. For example, if you're looking for big bros for sale you could type:

fs big bros site:mountainproject.com

You can’t search on the app, but you can on the mp website on like chrome or safari!! Hope that helps :)

One of the most maddening things I'd like to see MP change is their search function.  I'd like to at least see it so when you sort by newest, then look at a listing and go back, you don't have to scroll all the way back down to "forums" and resort to newest.  Also, yea, just any search function in the app would be great.

Remedy for this is to open in a new tab. I know it's annoying but less annoying than resorting.
