cymaz Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Is there any way to search a particular Thread for a word or phrase? I was thinking about the 1/4 Scale Precedent Stampe build thread. I began it 9 years ago, it runs to 130 pages and has nearly 3500 comments. It a great source of hints and tips. This would help with other long running threads Having a search facility would make finding problems covered and solutions easier to find.......just a thought. Or is there another way around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I think Cymaz wants to search for, say, cabane, within that thread ? Edited August 20, 2021 by GrumpyGnome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was trying to get at. ? If someone typed in CG, then the word would pop up showing the page or comment.

cymaz Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Gents, I’m being really thick here. I’ve typed a phrase into the search box and nothing comes up. Can anyone so an idiots guide please ? What is a “tag” ? Edited August 21, 2021 by cymaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I wish I knew how to take a screenshot on my Surface.... In the Forums section: 1. Open the thread you are interested in 2. In the search bar at the top right, enter your search criteria 3. In the SEARCH IN area (this will appear as a menu under the search bar), select This Topic 4. Click/press the magnifying glass at end of search bar. This works on my Windows PC and tablet. Doesn't work like this on an Android phone - can't see how to do it I'm afraid.
