Search within a thread?


I like to every now and then search through threads I have participated in to see if anything that may interest me pops up.

One type of thread that is a prime example of what I am going to ask here is any "screenshot" thread.

I was wondering if there might be a way to add a little drop down to the top of the thread with the use of being able to pull up a list of all posts by one user?

Like if I look at a screenshot thread I could select "corbintechboy" from the drop down, hit find and be presented with my first post in that thread and have the ability to hit "next" to move through the thread post by post?

I find it sometimes frustrating to find some of my posts that may be buried in a mix of many many posts. Search cannot do this (As I can find, please correct me if wrong).


Just an idea to make finding your individual posts easier.

The "Search this Thread" dropdown should allow you to accomplish this.

No problem, there's quite a bit of functionality mixed in here at LQ... so it's not too difficult to miss something like that. Enjoy.
