Is there a way to search Answers for answers?

Is there some way to find specific answers? Whenever I put a search in (e.g. "gears"), it only comes up with results in the Instructables category. And I can't find any dialog boxes to change the search category to "Answers". It just seems to me that a system as awesome as the "Answers" section is needs accessibility to get the full potential out of it. (It's forgivable at this point because it's still new).

You can try using Google for now.

I don't understand why Answers wasn't made searchable from the beginning. Instructables really needs to add some checkboxes under the search box for Guides, Answers, and Forums
