"Also search in child forums"

[Smart Enuf]

In "Advanced Search," there is a window called "Search in Forum(s)" and at the bottom of that is a check box (default is checked) that says "Also search in child forums." What does this mean? What child forums is this referring to?

Could it be another way to say "sub-forum(s)"?

Ah, thanks for the clarification. As a geek myself, I'm surprised I didn't catch that. Must be missing my geek workout.
