I am trying to use the SEARCH function
to find discussions of topics among multiple threads in the same forum/case.

The search functions that i see on the upper left corner and the "search forums" taskbar seem to search all forms/cases and haven't helped me.

Looking for items/topics that were already researched in the same forum but in the same forums 's earlier thread earlier threads

eg forum - "Found deceased_________(forum name)
It has @ 9 threads
A topic was discussed previously but I don't know which thread #
I can provide the time range dates
I can provide keywords (item or topic that I am looking for)
Posted by: I wouldn't know who posted the relevant entries

In 1 case, there were old threads covering a topic that is being re-hashed
and I wanted to find that continuous cluster of comments
that covered a specific topic where even professional experts
contributed.

So, For example:
I want to search
-the 9 threads of 1 case
-for a key word ( e. g. item/topic)
-within a date range e. g. (08/01/22 -> (09/23/22)
-without knowing who posted the comment.

Thanks for your attention and any advice/directions

The 9 threads can't be searched collectively. You'll have to go into each of those 9 threads to search within the individual thread. In each thread, make sure to select "This Thread" from the search dropdown menu (rather than "Everywhere" or "This Forum")
