? regarding search results

So I need to search for a Part Number and the Part Number Request thread is like 112 pages long when my keyword is found in that thread. Can I refine my search results so it only returns the PAGES the keyword is found?

If so, how?

thanks

Are you using the main search engine? Or the 'Search this thread' engine within the thread?

When you use the 'search this thread' tool, all results are shown as posts. If you're using the main search engine (which is terribly cumbersome for doing what you're trying to do), you can use the advanced search and tell it to show results as posts instead of results as threads.

That's why it's advanced.
