Default Search feature


Maybe this exists, and I just haven't found it...

In the old RCU, I used to be able to ask "search" to return threads or posts ; it seems that the current RCU only ever returns threads. This is a frustrating problem if the post I am searching for turns out to be in a thread that has hundreds of replies, because the search only takes me to the start of the thread, not to the post that contains the terms I searched for. Consequently, I spend about 5 minutes using ^F to search through each page of the returned thread, then selecting the next page and using ^F again, and so on & on until I eventually find the post that contains the search terms.

Am I just missing an option somewhere, and a proper post-level search result is an option ? If not, could you please consider fixing search so that it will take us to the matching post instead of just the start of the thread ?

Thanks,
Gordon
