The default is "Search All Open Forums". But if you click on that line, you will be given a list of all open forums:
Again, "Search All Open Forums" is the default. From there, one has to uncheck that and pick one or more other particular forums for greater specificity.

Thanks, TWA884. The screenshot you posted is what I'm accustomed to seeing, complete with the "Search this Forum" link. However, the screen I see now in my desktop browser is pasted below. The Search this Forum funciton isn't there. I must say I much prefer TWA884's screen layout over this one!
