Advanced Search
« on: December 22, 2014, 04:47:25 am »
Pretty much all other forums I participate is have some type of advanced search function where more parameters can be searched for in specific fields (authors, dates posted, etc.) and how the result are display.

I have not found it here ... yet !

There's this, but I usually just use this.
No longer active here - try the IRC channel if you just can't be without me :)

edit:c4757p beat my response by 18 seconds.  I also just use google vs the search engine in SMF.

So how do you search for all posts by a given author ?  Wildcard (*) not allowed in the first field.

Select them from the memberlist then select show all posts. That part of SMF does work well in the search.
