What gives?

I was looking for a thread that I didn't start, but posted a reply to.

It looks like the search by "user name" feature ONLY displays posts that you started. If you reply to someone else's post, you have to find it manually. (considering how many new posts there are each day, I've had to look through several pages to find one of my posted replies)

I then tried searching on keywords in my signature. Nope, that doesn't work either. I guess the signature is not indexed for searching.

Maybe I'll manually put a wacky number or keycode at the bottom of all my "reply posts" so I can find them later.

So moderator/admin - can this be fixed?

If you search by your username, it should pull up any post you posted, not just threads you started.

Hmmm, seems to be working now.

I was looking for this thread: (Re: Opinions on exhaust note....Borla, Corsa, B&B??)

http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB14&Number=288546&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

And when I did a search on my username (newer than 1 year) it didn't come up.

I think I did a search the day after I posted a reply. Maybe the "indexing" by username only occurs every 48 hours or something.

Anyway, all is well!
