"Search child forums as well"

[Turbo]

I was using the search function today, and I saw there was an option that said "search cild forums as well". What does this mean?

Thank you.

I think that could be for sub forums such as the 'Other Games' Forum within 'Console & PC Games' and such.

^ Yep, that's what it means — your search will include any sub-forums below the forum that you're searching in.

I always thought that it meant search everything besides The Infield.

Good to know what it actually means!

It's a common terminology to use for data structures, whether it's web design, programming or 3D modelling. It may be good to know that, using the same terminology, the owner of a child is called a parent (clever, right?).

For instance, Console & PC Games is the parent of Other Games.

When you check "child forums", I thought it meant the drag and drift forums.
