Is it possible to run searches within a topic?

I saw the need arise in a previous topic, and I came up with the question; Is it possible to run a search within a topic the same way we search through the website for threads?

You could always try Ctrl + F to find certain words, though it will only show what is on the page itself.

When one does a search (of threads) on the main "Answers" page) the search is not restricted to the words in the title of the thread (although I suspect/hope that such occurrences are given preference [and I believe that is why we encourage "meaningful" titles for threads]).

Within a page, one can use whatever methods are supported by one's browser (probably "Ctl+f").

If you look on each thread page you will see that there is no search facility so I would suggest that it is not possible.

I think it would be useful, but I don't need it very often.
