to specifically search within a thread?

Here's an example. Few weeks ago on the M/TV board someone dug up the series finale of LOST thread. It was probably 100 pages, extremely long. I know that I posted many times in that thread and was curious to see what I had said in there, but of course there was no way to find my posts in there unless I were to just go to "my posts" page and go all the way back to that specific date then see the posts that way.

I have no idea how easy or complex this would be so I'm really just thinking out loud here. But would it ever be possible to add this? Currently we have the "search" button when we're on a baord, but not when in a thread. Could a "search" feature be added for when you click on a thread with the option then to "search my posts in thread"?

I realize this would largely go unused most of the time but you can say the same thing for many things. I mean really how often do people RA for "broken link"? I do think for the people who DO use it it would be extremely beneficial.

I know the google search feature can find really old threads that this site's search won't, so I could go onto google and find a link to that particular thread if I wanted. My question was more so asking abotu once I arrive at the actual thread, if there's a way from there to see all posts I've made inside the thread.

I've always wanted a "my posts in thread" feature.

It would be incredibly useful in a megathread like the ASOIAF Crackpot Thread.
