It already does this Noel. E.g. if you search for "IvanP Atlantics" and check "Forum Topics", you'll find every forum topic (thread) with Atlantics in the name that Ivan created. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Another thing you can do is visit someone's profile, and then there is a link to view all their forum posts. Useful if you know they posted something recently you wanted to check back on. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Last edited: Feb 26, 2014 10:21:09 |

Thanks. I didn't know this. But what if what I'm looking for isn't part of a topic, but just text in a post? Brian also wrote:
Yes, I mentioned that approach. If what I'm searching for isn't on the first few pages, or not in a topic created by the person's post I'm looking for, it can take a very long time to read everything trying to find the post I'm actually searching for. —This is Noel.

So if a member name is typed in as a search word, it'll be retrieved even if it isn't included anywhere in the post? I never knew that. Duh! ... Never mind... And thanks!

Yes. The following things are stored in the search index for each forum post:

Yeah. I just sort of expected "Author" to be a separate search field. This is why we should read instructions. Thanks! —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

Just a reminder. I see a lot of folks searching for an exact phrase but putting the search terms in the wrong box. For example, if you are searching for "voodoo lab super fuzz" you'll want to type all that in the middle box for an exact phrase match. Otherwise if you use the first box you'll get every post with voodoo, lab, super, and fuzz, which is probably more than you want. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Bump for my previous post, above. A lot of people need to use the "exact phrase" search box. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

The search form is very finicky and often blows up when you give it "special characters". So please replace all fancy (smart) quote characters with plain old single or double quote characters (or just omit them entirely). —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |
