TakeWalker Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm not sure how much control the admins have over search algorithms, but hear me out. This won't help me out too much in the time frame I need it, but I notice there's no way to just search for posts by a specific person. You are required to specify some word for the search, that's the primary field being searched on. But if I want, say, all of my posts in the Fanfic and Member Works sections (which I do), I really have no way of retrieving these without manually going through the whole damn thing. Like I said, I'm sure that by the time anything could be done about this, it wouldn't benefit me, but I'm just pointing it out in case anyone ever finds themselves in a similar position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo K. Lighthouse Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just go to their Profile there's a list of their posts in the link "last posts of this person." . if you can't get to their Profile, I've gone thru the Member list, "Ctrl+F enter Members name" style before.

DZComposer Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Actually, you can do that. Click on "advanced search." Place an asterisk (*) in the "search for" field, and type the user's name in the "by user." Check the boxes for the forums you which to search.

It would not let me do so, claiming I forgot to include search terms. Anyway, I think Leo hit it on the head. I never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
