A More Precise Search Engine

RiskyFlame · 08-30-2014, 06:23 PM

Whenever I search for a several certain combinations of letters (= words) using the advanced search page, I get all the threads that contains those certain combinations of letters.

Some threads have only a couple of posts and others have hundreds or maybe even thousands of posts. As I said, I am searching for specific words. So maybe it would be handy to go to the actual post within the thread that contains these words if the thread has (not yet) infinite posts?

How to use this feature, if you ask me.

1. Make a button in the Last Post column at the left of the last post information.
2. A link called "Go to Selective Post" in the Thread / Thread Starter column.
3. Change the title link from going to the thread post to the pre-selected post.
4. Any other way you might think of.

Well, when using the Advanced Search, couldn't you just switch to "Show Results as Posts"? Then you'll see all posts including your keyword(s) and the thread title. Clicking on the post title should directly get you to the post, which contains these keyword(s).

Were you looking for such a thing? Or did I completely misunderstand you? I don't think it is easy doable to jump to the post when using the threads view, as it wouldn't be clear which post if the thread contains multiple posts with your keyword(s).

Just my random thoughts, sorry if I've got something wrong.
