How can we see all posts that quoted a certain post? (to see all answers given to a certain question)

Already possible w advanced search functionalities? If so I do not find it...

And if not it should be created imho, as it is then a missing, super-usefull feature we could all benefit from!

This is possible, if not immediately obvious.

Every post has a particular ID - if you right click the top-right corner of it (where it shows the post's position in a thread; yours in this thread is #1, mine is #2) you'll be able to see it. This also appears when you quote a post or any portion of a post.

If you type that ID into the Search box, you'll see every post that has quoted it.
 
so I do Copy link on #1 ,
I get this link :https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-that-quote-a-given-post.435921/post-14559176
and I take the ID from there, 14559176

I then go to Search , paste it , and I get " No results found"

Having just tried this myself with a bunch of posts, it does seem to be randomly temperamental, sometimes just giving "No results found" and other times finding the post or posts. If I get a No Results search, trying it in Advanced Search seems to make it jump from 50% success to 75% success...for some reason.
