Search all my posts in one board
« on: March 18, 2010, 11:26:55 PM »
Is there a way to search all my posts and/or topics within a particular board?

Once in a while I want to search for something in a board by me, but I don't know what keywords to use, so that makes it hard to search for something by me in a particular board.

Are you that obsessed with your own posts that you don't read the posts that are on the board you post on?

That doesn't help.

I want to search in a certain board of all my posts, for example

search ONLY "mod_rewrite" for posts by "The Little Guy"

vBulletin has that, and it is nice because sometimes I have a question that I have already asked, and would like to look it up again, but don't know of any keywords that I want to use to search for it.

If you click Search at the top you should get those functions.

and if you click the options to show the boards... the boards will appear.. you can either check them all, uncheck them all.. check them one by one.. uncheck them one by one.. etcetera.. pretty straight forward

You can't because SMF is stupid. Try searching for *a*. That will get you past the three character requirement, and it's unlikely your post doesn't have an 'a'.

You could write a script to scrape your Profile Info > Show Posts pages and use your own script to filter/search through them.
