So, I've found myself a few times wishing that we had an option to do a search within only a specific thread, rather than for a section of the forum. This would be particularly helpful in threads like the anime/drama/game music threads - so that you can do a search to see if something has already been uploaded before you either upload it yourself or request it.
For example, if you did a search for 'Air Gear OST' - you would get lots and lots of returns, but the majority of them would be from the Air Gear thread, or other threads that happen to mention Air Gear. If I could search just the Anime Music thread though, I could look for 'Air Gear' - and would get only the returns concerning Air Gear in that thread. Not only would this mean fewer returns (and thus an easier search) - but also would mean that you could find things even if they are put under different names (for example, if you search for "Air Gear OST" - including the quotes - you will not find the second OST because the second OST is referred to as "Air Gear Sountrack2" - and if you don't know that, you have to wade through several pages of search returns to find it.
Searching within only a particular thread would also have benefits for other threads if you are looking for references to a particular episode, character, etc. In the riddle thread, you could check for a particular riddle to make sure it hasn't been posted before. So on and so forth.
I think it would be a good idea, so give your thoughts!
