<IMO>

I would disagree - limiting the search to a given forum is useful -
there should always be a way to search the entire site, but when
browsing a specific board then a search limited to that board is
appropriate.

Along the same lines - when at a category page (so multiple boards are
now listed) the search should be limited to the boards in that category.
