How come a search for 'Walking Dead' got me 35 hits, none of them about the TV series, and only via google did I find the 5-page thread called...The Walking Dead?

There are two separate search functions, one for the message board (in the line above your name) and one for the wider site (towards the top right-hand corner of the page). I just used the message board search for Walking Dead, specifying thread titles only, and it worked fine.

Better still, set up a custom search in Chrome.
Go to Settings > Manage Search Engines, then create a new search term, filling in the three fields from left-to-right.

Once you have a list of search results, whether in the forum or Google, is there a way of clicking to the specific post? Often I'm searching something in a long, old thread with hundreds of pages.
If the search reveals a particular post on a particular date which I want, I can't click straight to that post, only the thread in general. I don't know of any way to find the specific post apart from gradually clicking through the thread page numbers until I hit the date.

What I'm actually doing is looking for a specific post in Mundane Thread II from April. I can find the post on Search, but once I click on the specific post I'm just taken to the latest post on the thread instead. So getting to the specific post requires clicking through the thread page numbers till I get there.
You know what? I'm just making this complicated. It's actually not that big a problem.

Well, if you, for example, wanted to revisit nmrfox's encounter with Alan Buckley in McDonalds, you could do a Google Site Search for Alan Buckley McDonalds and clicking on the top result will take you to the relevant page (page 2 of the thread).

I'd do my searching with Mr Vandross.
