That's the default vB message - that is what it says when it finds no results - it will never find results if the search term is under 4 words - which is why there is a note: in front. I could always remove that part. |

| Swamper I just noticed you can no longer search by exact username. Is this removed for good? That was a useful search feature to me, especially for digging up old posts that I had made myself and needed to find. |

It's gonna be gone for a while... 90% of the slowdowns on the forums were a result of searching for all posts by user. I would literally cancel those queries manually if I was online and I noticed the forums were stalled. |

That makes sense. Maybe if there was a way to restict members to only looking up their own posts or something? Or they get like 1 search per day or something. I only ever used that feature on myself for finding posts several years old. |

I've always had beef with the search function. Even when I put in phrases that I know exist, and search for thread titles that I've seen recently, it still comes up with nothing. Then after 10 minutes of searching manually I find the exact thread I was looking for.

"Search for all posts by this member" removed?
I noticed you can't search by username anymore and the option to search for all posts by one user from their profile has dissapeared. I used to use this option quite a lot, as it's the only way to find out when a user last posted and is a quick and easy way to find other posts by that user.Is it gone for good or is it temporary? |
