Title: Advanced Search
Post by: theoldwizard1 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 (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/search/), but I usually just use this (https://www.google.com/?q=site:eevblog.com/forum).

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.
