Just curious... I used Advanced Search to look for posts by one particular user who I saw post on a thread (no other search constraints) and it tells me No Search Results.
Even though:
- there are posts by that user, eg the one I was looking at in the beginning;
- if I use Google, not MN's own search, I find lots of other posts by this user;
- it's not that AS is generally broken, because if I search for a random other user it works fine;
- I'm 100% sure I didn't mistype the username - I even tried copying and pasting it from my successful Google search.
So is it a glitch, or is it a feature that AS might actually be disabled for a particular user as target? If it's a feature, is it one that gets turned on by request, or only in really special circumstances?
(I won't say which user I was looking at, in case it is some kind of special witness protection thingy! Of course if MNHQ want to know to try it out I can PM.)
