TSR search function not working

did you use the advanced search ?

you can look for posts made by you ( or anyone else you can specify ).

Thank you. I didn't spot that until you mentioned it!
School-boy error there. Thank you for letting me know.

Dear admin

I tried searching for an old post with a specific word and couldn't find it.

I know I wrote about a post about this subject; but I couldn't find it. Instead, I had to go through my rep history to find the post (which I eventually did).

I think the search function is broken.

If you want to search your own posts the best way is you through My Profile then view all posts. Then Type in the URL after the member number &query="word"
(You don't need the "").

So like this...
