I have noticed a problem with the search engine when I use the "search entire posts" option, at least it seems like a bug to me. When doing a search sometimes I get directed to the Downloadable Candies subforum or some other thread with many entries. The problem is I am not directed to the post that contains the topic of my search, just the thread, and searching through these threads can be a real hassle as some of them are fairly large. I know the search engine found the topic in a post because it found the thread the post is in but it would seem to me if the post would show up in the search results and not the thread,(unless of course the thread title includes the search topic). It would be more helpful anyway. If there is anything that can be done about this that would be nice.
 
Use the Advanced Search option and check Show Results as Posts should work or at the top of the thread use Search this Thread and it will show the posts you are looking for.
 
Thank you IdolFun. I am for some reason constantly amazed at the scope of my ignorance but always glad to have it lessened somewhat.
 
Ceewan - also there are different places in a search result where you can click. see image below.
