I feel like there used to be an advanced searched function... does it still exist in this new forum style?

For example I was hoping to search JUST the Glass Color forums for certain words. Is it possible to do this? I can't seem to find any advanced search options, just the little search bar at the top right.

Click the magnifying glass next to the search bar.

Jeebus! Thanks for pointing that out!

Once the boards switched over to this new look the 'Advanced Search' link disappeared and I never could find it again. Nothing ever prompted me to click on that magnifying glass as opposed to just typing stuff in.

I actually started using google to search on this site. Also useful, actually. It's precise in a different way, especially if you want to search for phrases or exclude words, or just in general any of the awesome features google search gives you.
To do that, when you're in the google search bar, preface your search with site:talkglass.com and then search for whatever you want! I made a bookmark of the following URL because I'm pretty sure I'm searching on this site every single day.

I'm not sure what kind of coding is involved in it, but are there any plans in the works to institute a hashtag or individual specifier the way Twitter and instagram do searches? Such as @pyrochicksrock and #nortelredmax? Just curious. I do 90% of my internet time on my android so it would definitely help with mobile users. Just a thought. Hope I posted this in the right place.
