isnt the search bar right at the top of the page ...???

the base issue.. is peeps actually using searchable titles ...

i seem to think.. most of us... used independent search engines including gardenweb or houzz in the terms ...

ken

Lin, that same search format exists....at least in GardenWeb. Since I am never on the Houzz platform itself, I have no idea if it works the same.

You DO need to be in the forum you are searching. You type in your search terms in the box as indicated but confirm that your are searching only in Perennials before hitting enter as you are given other options.

Here is a search I did for "dry shade": https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/peren/query/perennials-for-dry-shade/nqrw

And another for "orange flowers": https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/peren/query/perennials-with-orange-flowers/nqrw

I have heard of search issues using the app. I don’t use it. I use the browser on my phone and go gardenweb via this link. See if that works better.

The "explore discussions" option is too broad. It will look in every forum. To narrow down the search, you have to be in the appropriate forum.

True, I chose that link for access to all forums. ;-)
