Hi Marvin,
I just made a bad assumption. I would not try to optimize by forum section. If someone has a problem with a specific program they have two simple options. They can either restrict the search by entering all, or part, of the name of the product along with their other search words. Or they can just ignore the results that are not related to the product they're interested in.
The upside of not optimizing by forum section is that you get a broader possibility for good answers if your question isn't specific to one product. It's actually nice to know that I don't have to be careful where I launch my search from for fear of missing something useful.
