(See #23 for Forums-wide searching.)

Is there a way to cntrl-f style search a thread/page?

A search feature (as in ctrl+f) would be great. Maybe it could be slipped in to that section in the lower right with Rate Thread, Link a Thread, etc.

I've only been using an iPhone for two weeks now, so this is probably something obvious. How do I search for something on the current page?

oh random feature request can we have an in-page search. not using the forums search function just searching the current page of posts you have loaded like what you could do in a web browser.

Would it be possible to add the ability to word search the page/view you're currently looking at? Like being able to control-F in a browser. I was thinking mostly about using it to search thread pages, but I suppose it'd also be cool to use of you're looking for a specific thread in a long list of threads.

If this is already possible, just let me know...I tried poking around but couldn't figure anything like that out.

While I know search would be a whole thing, perhaps "Find on Page" could be implemented?

I sometimes am trying to find a recent page with a matching keyword, and sometimes I just accidentally tapped the top of the screen and need to get back to where I was. I feel this is probably less work to implement than a true search.
