I wondered this for a while and then felt kind of dumb when I realized it's the big search bar next the NintendoLife at the top of the page. It searches the entire site, not just forums though.

the same here.... and if you type "Thread" or "forum" in your search it'll show things related to the forums in the top instead of articles.

Good to know. I wonder how many of the locked topics are a result of people not knowing how to search for duplicate posts? I guess it only applies to people like me who don't post a great deal. It would be nice to see the forums have a dedicated search bar.
@TG1: Many of our locked topics actually occur due to people ignoring the stickied topics at the top of each forum section, so your mileage may vary on that one :3
personally, i use google myself whenever i need to find anything on the forums — site:nintendolife.com/forums is how to get it to search our forums only. enjoy!
BEST THREAD EVER future of NL >:3

Thanks again guys, appreciate the quick replies. Didn't mean to sound snarky about locked threads either, I just was and am genuinely surprised that forums this popular lack an outright search bar. But I will use the suggested method(s)
