Title: Search through thread option?
Post by: WaveRiderx on February 24, 2018, 11:48:11 AM
Is there a way to search through an individual thread?  That way people don't keep asking the same questions over and over within said threads.  Weren't they supposed to upgrade the forum years ago?  Xenforo would be wonderful.  A top notch board and community deserves top notch software.

You mean through individual subforums? Well personally I really don't like using various forum's search functions, I always prefer google via:
Code:
site:bitcointalk.org what is merit

or something similar. It's just that the problem isn't the search feature of bitcointalk, it's just that people are too lazy to use search or to atleast read other threads before asking; hence we get redundant questions.

I mean individual threads.  Like 200 page ANN threads for coins.  So much useful info in them, but a lot of people just want certain info without having to read through it all.  If this already is an option and it's right in front of my face my apologies, but I'm just not seeing a way.

You just have to use search field when in the specific thread it - it will show results only from this thread. But it isn't working well, at least for me, cause it won't show all the searching words.
