I think it's confusing without the "All forums" at the top of the select box like on previous versions. A lot of times, members wants to search the entire forum. Also, not many know how to select them with the control key or highlight from top to bottom? What if there are a lot of forums? It's not very friendly.

isn't not selecting any forums searching all?

Could swear those are optional further filters.

Yes but a lot of newbies won't know this...

:) If you want to search the whole forum then don't put in any filters. :)

a lot of newbies never see the advanced search form.

Not seeing the issue, or why they are not simply typing a phrase into the quick-search.
