Ok - I have just found out by reading the online SMF manual that you can search within topics. I have been looking for someway of doing this for ages. It was not obvious to me at all.
I had no idea that this actually already existed as the search text field in the top right hand corner - I didn't realise that this actually defaulted to searching the topic you are reading. I assumed (and I may be in the minority here) that this was just the standard 'search forum' field.
My request is - please can you make it a bit more obvious that this is 'search topic' function? Or possibly have functionality similar to this:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=205299.0Please don't get me wrong, the forum is feckin amazing
I just think this may be useful to people (people like me who didn't realise what things were).
Thanks for reading... (ps I am not a computer numpty, I have worked in IT for years and years)
