Hello, Previously when searching you were able to filter searches by the keyword appearing in title, not post. This seems to have disappeared in the latest update when looking at advanced filters - is this just a bug for me or is it a feature? [Screenshot 2026-02-06 174115] Any help appreciated…

The structure of advanced search options has changed a little bit, you can now find it under the “Only return topics/posts…” dropdown as “matching in title only.” This was part of an update that also allows selecting multiple options from that dropdown.

The option to search for titles is still available for logged-in users. It was moved from the separate checkbox into the dropdown below: [image] But it’s missing for logged-out users: [image] But it seems this has been the case before, too. It’s the same on a forum that is still on v3.6.0.beta1…

Oh thanks for noticing, doesn’t seem like there’s much reason to restrict this since in:title works manually for logged in users when typed in Will be available soon via UX: allow anon visitors to search in title on /search page (#38042) …
