is there a way I can search for a topic and only include posts with attachments/pictures?

There is no way to search specifically for threads containing photos that I'm aware of. There is a "Search Media" tab in the advanced portion of the search area, but it will only search for those images that are stored/housed in the media section of the site, not all pictures posted.

I can kinda think of a way by leveraging the BBC code, but it's going to turn up a whole lot of results as it will include a lot of posts.
You could include [ img ]

(no spaces after/before the bracket) in your search to find embedded images. Or, similarly, you could do [ attach ] for images which were uploaded on here as an attachment.

But maybe let's take a step back - what is it you're trying to achieve here?

I didn’t think so but hoped I was missing it somewhere. I didn’t mean the media tab. I’m trying to aquascape my tank and it would be nice to search “90g” and have it bring up all posts with 90g in it that also contain an image. Kinda like on Craigslist you can click the “has image” button.
