Currently, running an advanced search specific to a forum, with only a keyword entry, results in all instances of that keyword from all threads.

For example: Advanced Search + Cloak + Features & Ideas forum. Try it.

What I'd liked to see is the limitation for all results returned from the same thread to be collated down to one result pointing at the specific thread.

Just a checkbox added to the Advanced Search. It might take slightly longer for results to return, but it beats wading through results for the same 2-3 most recent threads in which it was mentioned. Anyone who did that search will understand what I mean.

Granted, the engine may accomodate Cloak + SB returns; but that will likely return all instances in which word and acronym were mentioned, as well as those for both. The latter might be filtered to the top of course, as that is I believe standard for search engines.

It will still return a plethora of unwelcome results however, and it would be nice to just have the option of seeing results that indicate specific threads with possibly the addition of number of instances.
