Default Help: Searching in long Subsim threads

Hello,
there is an excellent "Advanced Search" option in the subsim forums that will output what you search in most cases. However, there are threads which are 500 pages long and this is where - I think, I don't know for sure - this search function will fail, for example to return matches at page 412 or similar.

So I go out and make a google search like that:

+"Silent Hunter 5" +"Open Horizons II" +"mediterranean"

But here too the search results are not good enough.


So, I wonder if it's somehow possible to export an entire thread with all its pages to plain text and do the search there manually. Is this possible? I have an advanced text editor and probably I can get most tools if necessary.

Thanks anyone pointing me in a direction for a solution!

Best greetings,
XS
