Key word searching of one member's posts only

[jmc]

Can you do that? My key word search of my own posts brings up other members' posts too.

Are you using the Google Custom Search box (at the top of the page)?

The 'magnifying glass' SEARCH function doesn't work.

I do it when looking for my own posts. I type in my question and then my screen name. Works all the time.

Not quite true, it does work, but it works as an OR search. So, if you search for "Trailer Plow" it finds all posts containing "Trailer" OR "Plow"

For the OP, if you go to http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/search.php?search_type=1 and put your username, put in ONE word for the search (I know, its a pain), switch to the "Show Results as" to "Posts" and it will show your posts.

Not to hijack thread but I wanted to search for old threads about "gardening by the moon". But all kinds of weird threads came up so I gave up. Guess I don't know how to use it.

Try this: gardening by the moon site:tractorbynet.com - Google Search
The search string is: "gardening by the moon site:tractorbynet.com"

Thanks Aaron, I wasn't using Google but rather the TBN thread search tool.

OP here.

Thanks, everyone. I got Aaron's method to work. Also, I never noticed the Google option (or how to use it until now).
