Search looks for content within posts or titles - your username is not part of the 'content' of your post - so no result would be found.

It all revolves around full-text searching and 'weighing' certain terms based on their frequency - searching for last posts by a user is cumbersome since while there are indicies for this sort of thing it still takes a long time on close to 5 million posts. This is the reason why the vast majority of large vB forums have search turned off for non-registered users - something I may be forced to do.

Some technical reading:

"That is, why is it bad if a search term is common? Well, think of the farmer who marked the location of the leprechaun's gold by tying a sock around a nearby bush. When he returned with his shovel to dig up the gold, the leprechaun had tied a sock around every bush in the field! Moral: if 'sock' appears everywhere, it is a useless marker."

Two questions:

1. Shall we start a thread "Chip in for search appliance for TA"
2. Did leperchaun use the sock inappropriately beforehand?


s.p.s. <-- to hell with it!

Thanks for the info Swamper!

btw, 5Mill posts??? whoa...
