It doesn't. R1CH, any chance that you can avoid having to type any search words when you have filled out the username field?

R1CH, any chance that you can avoid having to type any search words when you have filled out the username field? Well you can always find your posts by using the 'posts' button... just can't do it for other users. You used to be able to search for all threads STARTED by you by doing a search similar to the one you showed above. I think you chose 'title' instead of 'title and content'. Also, if you did a content search it would bring up a list of all matching usernames that Sonuvbob implemented. I think that got removed by R1ch's updated due to the new software though. | ||

 Regardless, the point is that I want to be able to find all posts of any user, which I suspect is something the search-feature is often used for on forums (with a link to all posts directly in the user profiles in some cases). When I see kolll and Strelok posting on these forums, I'm curious to see what they have written earlier. If you want to understand a specific user better, it's really helpful to look through their previous posts. And if someone is doing a lot of differing things in different forums that you find intersting, it would be an easy way to catch up. I'm really quite the stalker-type, so I have enjoyed how recent websites (for instance schroet.com or facebook.com, for instance) have started to track anything a user does, so that this can easily be tracked :p | ||

I don't remember what made me think that there would be no reason not to implement it now, but I had that thought after another attempt of desperately trying to get the search function obey my will; I posted about this is the search engine thread, without any reply. So, the way I see, it must simply be a matter of getting R1CH to see my reasonable request  ... Or maybe that have such distrust in users as to think that it will only help personal vendettas escalate with people following each other around.At the very least there should be an error message saying that you have put in a search word, so that us stalkers don't waste our time trying :o | ||

I'm not sure how hyphenated word searching works but it would be nice if c-pop and cpop, kpop and k-pop, and j-pop and jpop returned corresponding results. It's also strange that kpop isn't hypenated like the other two, but maybe that's a standard. | ||

I was under the impression that keeping people's posting history private for regular members was a conscious decision. However, it is a really cool feature in combination with the ban list }-) | ||
