Hi Administrators!

I was wondering whether you could give me some help. If I use the Search button (e.g., I searched for Verithin, to find out what people thought about using a harder pencil that kept its sharpness longer than Prismacolors), it led to a large number of results.

The very first one was Gemma's "It's not a dog!". Great! She's an expert. However, the search tool only put me on the thread, not on the spot where "verithin" was referenced. This is a long thread, and I basically had to go from page to page, until I finally got to the place I wanted.

Is there a way to direct the "Search" tool to put me directly in the first reference to the searched item in a thread?

Thanks.

The only suggestion I might make is once you are in a thread you could do another search of the word you are looking for.... at that point it will tell you exactly which posts have the word your trying to find.

Hope this helps,
Gemma

Gemma,

It worked! Thanks for the suggestion. That's really all I needed.
