Hmm. I'm not seeing that behavior. If I want to search the forum for, say, "magnets", I simply put the word magnets (no quotes) into the white search box, make sure the left radio button is clicked, hit Search, and it comes back with 56 hits, all of them within the Forum. If the other radio button is clicked, the search goes out to the world, as you describe

If you play around, you may find that although you entered only the word "magnets" and nothing else, the entire phrase that the search engine is using is

magnets site:trailmanorowners.com

The search engine automatically puts in the phrase

site:trailmanorowners.com

You should not modify or remove that phrase. This is what limits the search to the forum. You do not have to put it in, and should not do so. If the phrase is missing, the search will cover the entire world, which is what you are seeing.

Note that if the wrong radio button is clicked, the search phrase becomes

magnets site:google.com

and the search goes out to the world. I suspect this is what is happening for you - the wrong radio button is clicked. Are you still seeing the problem? Keep trying, and let us know.
