Question Specifying forums that the search function is only allowed to search in. (Solved)

I have recently ran into a problem that the search function is giving me. It would appear it is searching in hidden forums I created for users to find ONLY if they type in the forum id number. (Or post if they know which one.) Now, the technique I used to create "secret" forums involved me masking it by throwing in a forum that registered users can access within a moderator only forum.

What I want: I wish to figure out a way to allow the search function to only search in certain forums you specify like you can with recent discussions in Kunena Configuration.

Oh, the version I am using is 1.5.6 just to let you know.

As I originally said, if it isn't possible, is it possible to disable the search function and remove the space it uses.

Hello,

What is the problem that you have with the search function ?

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

My problem is that I made a secret forum (with registered+ access) by "masking" it within another forum with high access and the only way for users to find it is by typing in the Id number of the secret forum. It works fine, however, the search allows you to easily find it by finding keywords that were used in the threads within the forum.

My question is: Is there a way to either hide all the secret forum information from the search or a way to disable it entirely? Perhaps a way to "fake" unpublished as if the information didn't exist.
Thanks,
-Derek

Ok, a quick update.
Now, I figured out that I can actually specify which forums the Recent Discussions will bring up. You know, like: 2, 5, 13, etc. I overlooked that.

I just wonder if it is at all possible to stop search from searching certain forums that registered users shouldn't be able to easily find.

Ex: When you search the forums, the only forum ids that it will search through will be: 3, 6, 7, 13, 24
That would mean it won't search through any other valid forums EVEN if it has registered access. 1, 2, 4, 5, etc.
Sorry if I didn't specify my problem more clearly.

Function get_search_forums() in lib/kunena.search.class.php lines 307-351 uses allowed array to show categories and filter search results.

You can remove unwanted categories from that list.
