Sometimes I want to search the forums for specific text. For example, today I wanted to search for "diarrhea" (yeah, fun, huh ;) ).

There were lots of search results, but they only show the thread titles, not the specific text I was looking for. Some of the threads are many pages long. Do I need to manually (visually) search the entire thread. Surely not.

Am I missing something? On most other forums that I read, searching for text will yield a snippet of the text that contains the searched-for item along with a link to the whole post and the whole thread. Is there a way to get better search results on this site?

Sorry if this question was already answered in this forum, but I didn't know how to search to see if it was! :)

Oh... a million thank yous... and that was SOME kind of fast service! I knew there had to be a way to do this, because this forum is so technically sophisticated. :)
