Of course, the opposite can be a problem as well, multiple threads clutter up the board, makes it hard to keep track on read posts, and also renders the search-function useless, because you get hundreds of hits when you search for something more general.

When you search, you can choose to "Show Results as Posts", so you'll only see posts that contain the word(s) you were searching for.
