How to search within one community? (lemmy.ca)

Say I'm on the page of a community and I'd like to search for something within that /c.

Looking at the /c's page (in a PC web browser), I see no way to search that /c.

Instead, I have to:

click on the search icon
find the box titled "Community"
click the down arrow at the end of that box
start typing the name of the /c
pick the right one out of several options
and only then finally do my search

Surely there's an easier way?

If not within the existing interface, then maybe... some browser extension or CSS hack?
