For example, if you want to find references to "boron" in the Annuals forum, this is what you get.

Don't forget to click on the thumb photo to see the complete picture. In this example, we now have the tedious task of reading through those two individual threads, page by page, message by message, to find the specific messages that mentioned "boron".

It would be an enormous help if the NGA Search went beyond the message threads,, beyond the thread pages, to the individual message(s) containing the search target, in this case "boron".

I am requesting that the NGA Search be enhanced to go to the individual message level. For example, those displayed dates could simply be links to the target messages.

I am further requesting that a PDF help document on using the enhanced NGA Search in various ways be produced and made available to site users, similar to the way a helpful PDF was recently made available containing Written instructions on how to customize your settings .

There is a goldmine of useful gardening information buried here on the NGA Site, and an Enhanced Search Function would go a long way toward making it easier for users to "dig it out".

Pretty please.

Thank You!
