As I understand it, that feature actually performs a search but only reports the first 500 hits.

You'd need to go to
Advanced Search and restrict your search in some way to make it yield fewer than 500 results. Some possible ways are to specify what keywords to search for and what forums to search in. If you started the thread you're looking for, or remember who did, or would recognize the title, you could also ask to see the search results as threads, not as posts.
That Advanced Search link appears at the top right of every Forums page.
