The most logical thing to do would be to not to select more than 5 boards when you search.
Look to the bottom of the search window where it says Choose a board to search in, or search all - uncheck the "check all" box.

 or

Use the google search which searches the entire site without caring how many boards there are to search.

If it continues to happen make this same request, preferably with screenshots in the Meta board. That's where issues and questions for the forum administrators occurs.

 You have to use a valid image source between the tags.  The link you use must point directly to an image and not a web page containing the image.

Seriously, you don't know how to add an image on this board, and yet you think
 Select no more than 5 boards at a time.  error message
is something that needs to be reported?  I already told you how to stop getting the error message but you seemingly persist without acknowledging whether you are in fact selecting more than 5 boards or not.  If you are selecting more than 5 boards, then you will find the solution is to stop selecting more than 5 boards.

The contextual search in the upper right searches the board you're on and all subboards. If this results in more than 5 boards, but less than all boards, then you get that error (recently-added for performance reasons).

If you want to search the entire forum, you can go to the search page or to the front page. The limitation I added is that you can either search all boards, or limit it to 1-5 boards. But you can't limit it to 10 boards, for example.

 ie This is a valid error message.  Stop searching more than 5 boards.

Yes I think it needs to be reported as it does not work when it used to work before.  Why wouldnt i report it?  You say its a valid error but my point being it used to work and now it does not.

What you posted is a work around it does not solve the issue.  When i pick under 5 boards then it works.  When I search with the check all box selected I get the error.

No I did not know how to post an image hence me asking how to do it.  

Whats wrong with not knowing how to do something and asking for a bit of help or direction?

 I didn't say there was anything wrong with not knowing how to do something, I was saying that since you don't know how to do the most trivial of things on this site such as post an image, what makes you feel that this message you received was not your error but rather a site error which needs to be reported?

 My turn.  Did you consider the consequences of posting a snapshot of your browser without redacting personal information such as your whereabouts and your business interests?  It might be a good idea to remove that image and replace it with a less personalized version.  Your call.

Ok fair does I thought you were attacking me for no reason, no harm done.

Those bookmarks don't relate to anything that could tie into my personal Id but I'll delete it anyway.

Can you try a search on all boards? Does it work?

Ok cheers for the help.

Good that you got the solution. Also i wana add here This form is run off of small machines forum. The reason you're getting that error is because you're using the search box on the front page while still on the index of the Forum. The purpose of that search box is to search The pages that you are viewing directly below it. When you're sitting on the Forum index you're literally telling it to search every thread on the entire form which of course is more than 5 pages.

You've got two options if you want to search a specific topic area for example announcements, navigate to announcements, and while on that page use the search box. Otherwise use the search page available from the menu above, and then take below that form the different pages that you want to search.
