This is probably a dumb question but how do you search for a poster if you can only remember part of their name? Eg I am Pixiedust1234 but what if I could only remember Pixiedust12?

Sometimes I forget to watch a thread but several months later I vaguely recall a poster and wonder how/if their problem ended up being helped.

I'm on a Samsung tablet using chrome if that helps.

Hi OP

Advanced search should show variations of that username - if there's something specific that you're looking for, we're more than happy for you to pop us an email. We'll take a look at the poster's results in search and see if somethings amiss!

Pixiedust1234 · 22/03/2023 22:26

I don't get variations.

@LilyMumsnet I don't know where to get that link. I use Advanced Search, if you look at my image below there is one Advanced Seach link at the top of the post and one at the bottom, both send me to the same place I posted above.

I tend to use Advanced Search from the Active Section rather than a specific board such as Chat.

Any update on this?

I don't want to email this in as it involves going downstairs and getting laptop out, waiting 30 minutes for it to load, send email, then manually checking for replies possibly over several days. This will also involve my DH asking me questions I really do not want to answer. So I would rather post or PM. Unless there's a valid reason for it to be via email?

Hi @Pixiedust1234 ,

Can you try the advanced search link for us. Just click here: Advanced Search. That should work as long as you aren't on the app and it definitely shows variations on user name.

Pixiedust1234 · 27/03/2023 19:08

It still doesn't work. I was trying to input the name of the weather poster as an example to show you.

To confirm, I am on a Samsung Tablet, chrome browser.
