How do I search in a forum thread?

I am looking for the option to search in a forum thread. I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I haven't found it. I see the search option but it searches the whole forum and I wanted to narrow the search to a certain posted topic/thread. Thanks!

As far as I know it's not a function in the SMF forum platform. I still have to search long threads for dynasty purposes so is using ctrl+f to find a term on every page. Though I have a good memory of when things were posted so I can narrow down hundreds of pages into 20 by checking the date of any thread page's first post.

Aww, ok well thanks for the tip.

Yeah, Trip's right about SMF. Best you can do here is use search with a narrowed date range by suggesting the search between x days using the boxes at the bottom of search... or you could use Google and try a search for site:carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/ and "put in quotes" the thread's exact title. This would probably be the best way. Google has the whole forum indexed, so if you search the exact title of the thread you are in you might have some luck. The site: part will restrict it to this area of the website.

Hope this helps!
