    Remember on Peppermint 10 you could search the old forum right from your whisker menu, well heres how you can set it up on 11 to search this one. Simple enough and takes a min or 2..

    Right click on your whiskermenu and select Properties.
    In the properties options click on the Search Actions tab.
    In there you should see a few custom actions, but on the top right click on + to create a new action.

    Click on the new action you just created and you will have 3 options to fill under Details, the first 2 are optional on what you want to enter but here are what i used

    Name: Peppermint Forum Search
    Pattern: !p
    Command: exo-open --launch WebBrowser https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepos/search/?q=%u

    Now close the dialog box and next time you open the menu type !p and whatever youre looking for eg: !p usb creator

    It will load your default browser, navigate to the forum and search it for whatever you need. :) :)
