While the mobile skin does have a search tool in the dropdown info bar, it searches all of FT, not just the current thread. (If you were to do a useability survey I would be willing to wager that "I want to search this thread" would be a vastly more likely user story than "I want to search all of FT")

Please switch this behavior, or add an additional menu item somewhere to make it possible! Thanks.

There is the tedious and laborious workaround of temporarily switching to the desktop skin, selecting the "search this thread" menu item > advanced search (this is the only way I can get it to work; if I try to type anything into the quick search box on a mobile browser the entire menu immediately disappears), then toggling back to the mobile skin.

The resulting search page is then limited to the thread, which demonstrates that the requested functionality already exists, it just needs to be exposed in the UI.
