# Search a forum element

All the screens of the *Forum* tool include a search feature. The search can be executed in all the forums at once and you can combine search terms with the “+” sign. The results are sent in the form of a list indicating:

* the forum category,
* the forum title,
* the title of the thread in which the searched words have been found.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chamilo.org/1.11.x/teacher-guide/communication__forums/search_a_forum_element.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
