Why does Advanced Search not bring up all a poster's entries?

[doilookremotelyinterested]

Just what the title says? Surely if you enter a poster's name in search you should get all their posts, not just some at random. If I type in my own name it's missing some, including one I've posted today.... Am I doing something wrong or is it really as bad as people say?

I can't even see Advanced Search, where is it?

Hello!

We're in the process of bringing back old advanced search - please do bear with us as it takes a while to test and build, but we're really excited and think you'll love it!

That's good news Lily

So when you bring it back then all a poster's posts will be visible?

Makes you wonder why MNHQ were so insistent that the pale imitation we have currently was such a fantastic upgrade!

Am I missing something here - why is this needed, never mind be excited about?

We've just finished our first round of testing - you can read more here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4607710-would-you-like-to-test-advanced-search

You haven't actually answered my question! Will it show ALL a person's posts or not (when you eventually put it back to how it originally was)? Just a yes or no....

I'm not too sure but I'll find out and come back with an answer!

Wow! Good luck with the testing

Yes, it will show all posts!
