I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

Certainly not a big priority by any means, but when you use the search box it doesn't appear that (1) more than one word can be used or that (2) if one of those words is your user name it is ignored in the results.

[u]Example[/u]:
I know that I asked a question months ago concerning Starbucks and the constant news reports about hidden cameras being found in their bathrooms.

When I entered...

[c=#BF0000]starbucks beckyromero[/c]

...no results were found.

I then re-entered the search with just...

[c=#BF0000]starbucks[/c]

...in the search field and found my prior question after quickly scanning a couple pages of results.

Ideally, it would be nice if there was an optional search option that we could select to filter the results to finding only the search terms in posts by us (or a specific member). Granted, this may also be a complicated programming thing. It's just a thought.

I see that you're suggesting that typing the username didn't search posts of that user (yourself in this case).

That's not something I would recommend, as otherwise there could be many false positives.

E.g. I could search for "peaches", and find ALL posts of the "Peaches" user that have NOTHING to do with "peaches" :)


However, I think it is a good idea to have some mechanism to allow search posts of a given user. We'll take note of that.

Thank you very much.
