Searching for threads by author


Recommended Posts

Just a quick one;

 

On the old search engine it gave the ability to search for authors of content, but specify whether you wanted that specific users posts or threads.

 

Now the new one has the same function, but the "show as posts/threads" only defines the way it displays the results, as individual posts or as a topic list.

 

Any such searches only display a list of topics that the user has posted in.

 

 

E.G.

 

I've been trying to find renegadecow's old build threads, but to no avail;

Indeed, I just can't remember how and/or why the old search engine worked better! The thread list on profiles works just great if only it went back further than a year.

 

Thanks Arn, much appreciated.

I can expand our profile search to past a year, it's just locked down to that manually at the moment to reduce server load. Want me to increase it to two years or are you looking for longer?

 

I'm looking to see if we can expand the adv search feature of the forums to include the ability to search by topic author.
