Some users on the Amazon forum of discourse are querying whether it is possible to do a  
browser search on an infinite scroll page for a  
_key term on a given page of a thread instantaneously_

The complaint being  
_Since Amazon introduced the ‘infinite scrolling’ format for this forum, I can no longer search individual threads using my browser search. Really annoying as that is by far the most effective way I’ve found to search long web pages._

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?  
Thanks for any help.

What I do is very simple. I enter a topic, then I open the search function and there is an option which allows you to search anything based on specific letters / words.

After you select that, you can then write a specific keyword and posts containing that word will appear.
