Searching within topics

As of about a week ago, it is now possible to search within topics. To search within a topic, type “in:” in the search box at the top of the page and begin typing the name of the topic.

The ability to search within topics allows you to quickly navigate through thousands of topics and tens of thousands of links in order to narrow down where a link might be located, if you’re not sure where it is.
