This forum is filled with so much useful information that I find it hard to keep track of it all.

For example, I remember something a certain member said but then have trouble finding that again. Would it be possible to customize a search so that one can search some key words that a particular member said? This would make it easier to narrow down a search.

Also you can not just put in the key words and then the member name because that just brings up post where other people have metioned that members name.

MacGyver, if you click on the search link which can be found in the menu across the top you will get a more advanced search page.

If you enter your key words and then scroll down a bit there is a field for a username.

If you can't remember the full username you can use an '*' as a wildcard.

This will only search through that user's posts for the key words you specified.
