And even better if those messages in the thread that _don't_ have the search term at summarised as '.....' to remove multiple irrelevant subject lines, e.g. within a big patch series [N/30] where you may have only one patch, and it's review, that should be shown) Even better maybe a limit on the number displayed within any thread (e.g. 10), just to reduce the amount of screen display (if it's relevant the user will jump to the thread.
