Search Tool returning specific pages

   MAX@,
This may be my ignorance of how to use the forum Search tool, rather than a limitation of the Search tool itself. Anyway, here goes:
When I'm searching for something using the forum Search tool, the latter returns a list of threads. The trouble is, if one or more of the threads has more than one page, it becomes a real chore to look through every page of every thread returned by Search to find what one is looking for. This becomes even worse when each thread has many pages. In fact, it makes searching in such cases impractical. Imagine having to look through e.g. 20 threads, each with 5 pages (and some threads have more pages than that).
Is there any way that the Search tool can return references to specific pages in a thread?
