Advanced Search on TFB

olafgarten

I have been trying to find a comment I left a while ago, but I can't remember when I posted it, or on what thread. I have been trying to use the advanced search, but it doesn't seem to be working. the two things I have tried are:

1) putting the keyword and username in the search like: @user olafgarten @body keyword
2) searching for the keyword but putting my username in the "Posted by member" field.

Neither seems to work.

Can anyone confirm if this is supposed to be working? Or am I doing something wrong?

Try using google and searching site:thefretboard.co.uk username keyword

Use option 1, but choose "Extended" from the Phrase Match dropdown.

Not user-friendly. I'm hoping to fix that with the new version

I saw that, but it only shows the start of the comment, which is usually just the thing I replied to.
