[SOLVED] Tips for searching-finding in big forum posts?

I was searching for tips for using `journalctl` to troubleshoot application troubles. One result was this forum post: Post your handy self made command line utilities. The trouble is this post has 120 pages and 2900+ answers! But when you click on the search results, the link goes to the first page even though that page doesn't contain the searched for terms. Not ideal.

How do you find what you're looking for in these very big forum posts?

On the search page there is an option to "Show results as" topics or posts.  You want posts.
