How do you search a thread?

Anyone have a clue? I want to know if I commented on a thread.

    Enter the subject into the search box, maybe.

    Is it a thread you're looking for, or something in a thread?

    If the former, the search function is rubbish on here
    • Instead I'll go on Google and type in what I think the thread title is and add CharltonLife in the search so for example.
    • "General things that annoy you, forum.charltonlife.com"
    If you know the thread itself you've got two options
    • Go to the thread, CTRL-F and search for "BDL", and repeat on each page, I just there arent a lot of pages for you to go through.
    • Otherwise go to your Profile, go to "Comments" and then CTRL-F and search for a part of the thread title, but can see you've made around 5.8k comments on CharltonLife so that might take a while.
    Here is your comments page; BDL — Charlton Life

    It might not even be CTRL-F to bring up your Browser Search box by the way, thats just the shortcut for Microsoft Edge

    Google is your friend Dave.

    Amazingly, as excellent as this forum is they have never ever been able to sort the search facility out.

    That’s interesting, is it because it’s too complicated or no one has bothered?

    Since when has giving the customer what they want been a thing round here?

    It seems like Google has stopped indexing this site properly for some reason. You used to be able to do a site search to find what you wanted but it's very unreliable now. 

    I reckon we should have Premium accounts. You pay a monthly fee, which goes towards funding a coder to fix the site's problems, and you're rewarded with the function to block other users ;)
