search inside threads

hey all,

i'm relatively new to this forum, but i oooften used it to solve issues i had relating arch.
so here's what's really missing in this forum: you cannot search inside of threads.
this feature would really make problem-solving related search much easier, especially in those huuuge threads.

is this a feature that could be integrated?
if yes: discuss.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

We use vanilla FluxBB as provided by the upstream. We do not add any modifications/patches. So if you want any feature in the forum, you will likely have to contact the FluxBB devs.

And as hauzer mentioned, google is available.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: search inside threads

You can use the standard forum search and 'Show results as Posts' (it's in the bottom part of the search page in the 'Select how to view search results' section - the default one is 'Topics').
