I use it now again looking for specific posts however the result are only generated by the thread rather than per post - which is kinda annoyingly old school. Unless I’m just completely missing some button to drop it into per-post form, is there any chance of a forum update in the future with this feature tweaked to list keyword posts by post and not just by threads?

Yes, especially with the larger threads this is a pain. I’ll check with Todd.
 
Most of the time the quickest way to find specific posts in our forum is to use Google with the words “twitchfilm”, “Forum” and whichever word you’re looking for.

I guess there’s no way to add a search function to the database? There is also Vbulletin that has a search function from what i’ve seen on other forums.
