ctrl-f on windows, command-f on a mac.

Single page view if the thread is really long.

this is an option.

my prefered way to search is to simply hit google up...

Except that searches *for* a thread, not *within* a thread.

Ctrl f is what I have been using, I just wondered if there was a more native forum option as it is on the really long threads that I tend to want to use it
