Hi Pacific, if you change the search type to "Search and display thread titles only" the nickname search searches only the nickname of the OP.

PacificDogwood · 25/11/2011 22:02

Nope.

Focus poor.

Tongue not working well.

Get to the point, Chaos, I might pass out need to go to bed soon.

Can you?

I thought you could only search for specific posters posts, not threads started by them?

Confused and [confuzzled]

CotherMuckingFunticalChristmas · 25/11/2011 21:59

I do

HerdOfTinyElephants · 25/11/2011 21:58

PacificDogwood · 25/11/2011 21:57

Ok.
I've had Wine.
V nice wine.
So I seem to be missing last letters of words all over MN tonight.
Deal with it.

BelleDameSansMerci · 25/11/2011 21:57

Sometimes... Usually when checking suspect poster out or looking for an old thread.

You can do that Pacific.

Is this a 'how to improve Advance Search' thread?

If so I'd like 'search for threads started by' option if it is not too much trouble.
Pretty please.

KristinaM · 25/11/2011 21:56

Yes

BertieBotts · 25/11/2011 21:55

Loads.

I want a phrase search function, though. And proper AND/NOT/OR implementation.

Good, good a few of you here.

I like a good sample.

RandomMess · 25/11/2011 21:53

I think you missed "try" out of your thread title Grin

Pascha · 25/11/2011 21:53

I have been known to, on occasion.

BecauseImWorthIt · 25/11/2011 21:53

Yes. I often check other posters out, if I suspect they are trolling.

MincePieFlavouredVoidka · 25/11/2011 21:53

I do all the time - when I want to see if an OP on a controversial thread is a troll new poster

JeremyVile · 25/11/2011 21:51

Yes, but what I want to know is why is it called Advanced Search? The 'advanced' suggests there is another, more basic search option...is there? And if so why have I never seen it?

FlamingoBingo · 25/11/2011 21:51

Yes...why?

KatyMac · 25/11/2011 21:51

Loads but it could be improved a bit

It's a bit limiting & someone said Google is better Sad
