How did you eventually find the post (#335229)?

I had it on a personal list, I was keeping track of some of my posts.

Also one more thing - maybe you could limit (in the search results) how many lines you show, for each result? Instead of showing EVERY single time where the target word shows up?

The way it is now, the results are hard to visually parse. This is probably also because the title is so hard to distinguish from the rest of the results.

And then somehow giving an indication, visually, of whether the search result is in the actual post, or in a comment.

I agree with your feedback on the ui/ux of search. Will open a github issue.

Thanks.

One more thing...wouldn't it be cool to have a few more options in "advanced search" ?

The option would be ~PostOnly and ~CommentOnly. To be able to distinguish between the two in the search results.

Okay, just one more thing - the font that the word Filters is written in, in the above screenshot, is actively working against understandability. Maybe switch it out with something else.
