Hi Eric,

I think there is some problem with the option "search the forum" in the sub-sections.

For example, I open CR forum and search for the text "Must be True". So instead of filtering the posts having text "Must be true" within the CR forum, it displayed "No topics or posts met your search criteria".

The top search box is working perfectly but it doesn't help much if someone wants to search the posts of a particular section.

Is it possible to recheck the functionality of search box of sub-forums or to add filter options in the top search box?

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this bug. I tried your search query myself and encountered the same problems. I also used the forum advanced search feature, https://www.beatthegmat.com/search.php, and still encountered the same issue.

I'll pass this along to surfd00d, our lead engineer for the site. I hope that there is a resolution to this issue.

Appreciate your help!

One update: I did get results when I typed: "which of the following must be true"

Another work around for the time being. Using the Google search, you can type in "must be true - cr" to pull results.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
