None of the Discourse based forums I've seen appear to be slow. Who cares

The built-in forum search has a "search within topic" option. But if you do 
prefer to use the browser's within-page search, in the topic progress bar 
in the lower right, you can click to jump to the bottom, which loads 
everything -- then you can search the page. This is actually superior to 
Google Groups, which doesn't enable searching an entire discussion unless 
you manually expand each post. Forums that paginate posts also don't enable 
you to search the entire discussion within the page (because the entire 
discussion cannot be loaded in a single page).
