searching threads

[HJ]

Is there a way of searching a thread for a keyword which will give the post as a result? Someone has just asked for a recommendation for a LBS in Oxford, there is possibly on in the Sticky: LBS Recommendations, but how to find it without reading the whole thread?

Yes, there is.

Go to Advanced Search

Where it says Search titles only, click on the triangle

choose "search entire posts"


further down click in the circle next to
"Show results as posts"

I have just tried that with the key word as lbs Oxford and it works.

You can also use the Search this Thread option (top right of the first post in the thread).

On the LBS thread it gives three results for Oxford.

Cheers,

Ok, so I wasn't right, but I wasn't wrong either!

You're right, you weren't wrong

No, you had the right idea - the only difference is that the thread specific search excludes the rest of the site and can help to drill-down the results to a useful minimum.
