The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I can't find it either. The search at the top works reasonably well, but it's a bit blunt - you can't narrow your search to specific forums or anything. :(

    ^ That's all that's available at the moment.
    Limitations of the vBulletin forum engine mean that once 1,000,000 posts are on the forum, the search function destroys the site, taking up much too much bandwidth.
    Mods/Admins are currently seeking a solution - read the sticky in the "Site Suggestions, Help and Announcements" forum.

    Use this to search. Just type whatever you want AFTER the text in the search box in the link.

    I always used the Google search option anyway since the other one never allowed two character search terms like "XP" or "FZ" so it was pretty useless any way.
