I just searched for something in the property discussion. I wanted to link a friend to one of deadalnix's posts, so I put "I'm so happy to read this !!!!" into the search box and punched it.

What it brought up was one of David Nadlinger's posts. I want to say nothing bad about David Nadlinger's fine post; it just wasn't what I was searching for. Now, deadalnix's post was on the page, so it wasn't a complete miss, but I expected it to be the first one and it wasn't. If I sent that link to my friend then he would probably read the wrong part.

There's more frustration in this though: partially because the result was unthreaded. It's unthreaded, so I can't just click on the post I /actually/ want and get a new URL in my browser that I can copy-pasta. When I click on "View this thread in threaded view mode" it DOES NOT go to deadalnix's post as my search initially intended: it still selects David's post. Now I have to scan through all of the 7625342 subtopics in the property discussion /by hand/ and find the one I'm interested in. I eventually found it and sent the link. Very time consuming. Thankfully it is fast.

Please fix?

I'm sorry if this is already a known bug or something. I don't actually remember what the forum front-end is called or where I would go to properly find/add issues about it.
