I've remember you could use a thing similar to 'Find Post by Troper', but on a single thread. But I can't find it anymore. What happen to it? It was useful, since it allowed to search even for older posts, that don't appear on 'Find Post by Troper' list anymore.

people once said it's now in 'creating new post' page but it's not here to my knowledge; does using firefox matter?

There is no such feature that I'm aware of, but you can do a Google site search using inurl:<forum thread ID> as a term. For example, to search this very topic, I'd use "inurl:posts.php?discussion=14538193170A09033500" as a search term, along with the handle of the poster.

You can ask a moderator for closing a thread. I am one, but I am declining the request since Google search is unreliable and having a more dependable solution is something to consider.

^ But doesn't the search functionality that exists already just use customized Google queries?

Yes, and that is a problem because of the aforementioned lack of dependability.
