I understand that perhaps the choice of new database system precludes a search from returning answers from the vault.
But what I forsee is once we get content built up here in the new Community, people will search for a topic, and not see any responses from the Archives, and quite possibly have no clue that there's a plethora of really useful archived content.
Perhaps the Community Search functionality could have an additional button with something like:
"Can't find what you're looking for? Try searching HERE"
with a nifty link to the forum/archive search functionality?
Thanks for the useful suggestion! We definitely need a link (and will create one) as you've described. Sorry that we're not able to search the old, valuable, info from here!
