Is It Possible To Search For A Keyword In Just One Thread?

[LoonyTunes]

If I know I said a certain word/phrase in a particular thread but the thread is 400 pages long and I can't remember when I said it, is the above possible?

Cheers

Set the page length to 80 in preferences, and use the windows search function 6 times?

(CTRL+F)

Better than nothing I suppose.

I can think of a few other options:

Use the "My Replies" section on your profile "Forums" tab: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?me... (there are buttons on the top left for going further back in time)

Use the search: https://www.pistonheads.com/search?SearchText=%22L... (apparently there's a problem with it as only posts up to Dec 2018 are showing up)

Maybe google can help if the search above is not working eg.: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22LoonyTunes%22+%...

It also doesn't allow you to search just one thread. So if I search for say "dyson dryer" as I'm sure somebody mentioned that on a particular thread I'm interested in then you get pages a pages of results returned and sometimes it still doesn't pick up on the one instance you are after

any help from that "Refine by forum category" menu on the left hand side?

I tried that but it doesn't refine down to a single thread and also takes forever to untick all of the forums you don't want to see results from.
