|
 |
Why doesn't it have the option, when you make a search, and put that you see posts, instead of topics, to jump to that post, instead of the topic.
Lets say I want to search sth in a thread with 40 pages, and the post made by someone I need to see is on 23 page, I would need to scroll to that page. If I had the option to jump immediately to that post it would save me great amount of time...

There is mate. It's a bit weird, but it works. Once you've searched for something .. to jump straight to that particular result (after, of course, choosing to show as posts) just click the subject line. Not the one that says "Topic" - but the one below that says "Subject"

there is however a bigger issue with the search function, especially if you search in a game thread where lots of the info has been "spoilered"
the search function does not look in the spoilers and does not show the contents of the spoilers

You mean this:
BTW, it does search inside the spoiler, as the search ignores bbcode altogether.

Spoiler were a (very) late addition. They also don't work well in PM, etc (basically they only do work in the regular forum. sYn said Rinze is not here for now, but maybe when he comes back, he can look into it.

The spoilers not working outside threads shouldn't be too hard to fix, I'll get that soon.
Afaik the search should find text inside spoilers, but I'll test it to make sure.
