Title: Is it possible to search for all posts made by a certain poster?
Post by: boumalo on September 22, 2014, 05:15:03 PM
Don't find an option to easily search for all posts I made

What do you mean by 'easily search'? You can can find all your posts here but not really 'search' them all: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=219037;sa=showPosts

Go to your profile and click "Show the last posts of this person.".

The "Show the last posts of this person." button actually shows all of your posts, though they're paginated for easier browsing. If you want to search through all of your posts, just use a Google search specifying site:bitcointalk.org and your username. You'll get posts your name was mentioned in as well, but it should be easy enough to sort through at that point.

You may use the search function on https://bitcointa.lk/search/ but for some reasons bitcointa.lk has stopped syncing with bitcointalk since Aug...

No it is not easy because am mentioned tens of thousands of times in posts and started 29posts so have to browse hundreds of pages to find these 29posts!

In the "Search" you can specify to search posts by a certain user.

Thanks! I really forgot about that! ;D Click SEARCH which is next to HELP or just click the link : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search . :)

What I think he is asking is "Topics started by him", not the posts he made.

Correct me if I'm wrong, boumalo.

You cannot easily search topics that are started by a specific user in SMF 1. But this Google search query seems pretty accurate:

site:bitcointalk.org "boumalo" "pages 1"

Remove the "wap" from the URL to go to the normal page.

It's not perfect (the crawler fails from time to time), but: https://bitcointa.lk/search/14127/

I believe you are asking for the "Topics you started", simply no i couldn't find any way to list the thread i started.

Ah, yeah, I hope that feature is coming with the new forum software. Would be very handy/useful for many reasons.

This has been suggested before. Hope they adds it in the new forum update.

Keyword hope.

I've got a feeling the new forum will miss a lot of these basic features when it arrives. I think the devs should post an updated list of what suggested features they have either implemented or are currently working on. It'll be quite disappointing if it doesn't have features like this.

Yes indeed; read your post a little too fast; hope it will be implemented too to be able to keep track of my 29posts, it's a hassle to do it without a specific search function
