Currently, it looks like this:

(THIS IS WHAT CAPITALS MEAN)

I think that you should be able to choose more than one forum, but not all.
Either:
▪ Be able to choose the groups, with the following values:
▪ ▪ Scratch: -2
▪ ▪ Scratch in Other Languages: -3
▪ ▪ Inspiration and More: -4
▪ ▪ Archived Forums: -5
▪ Or have a cool checkbox, like the default MediaWiki search (here in the Scratch Wiki), like this (not a dropdown): (☐ is a checkbox)

For example, if I wanted to search in the “Scratch” forums and Miscellaneous, it would look like this:

Would either of these make it easier?
