They used to be lost unless you'd had the brains to jot down the thread number (on the right hand side of top bar)!! This was the only way to retrieve them. But now you can just enter a relevant word and it will list threads from way past page 15!

yes, it's very handy, and something I suggested in their "what improvements would you like to see" thread a while ago. Shame it takes a while sometimes ! Maybe once they're extablished that their servers can handle the load, the next step would be to enable us to search on words in the body of the messages as well as the subject line.
