searching on Mr. Excel

[mortgageman]

Is there a way to use the search on this board to see only those posts that a user has started? (Searching on Author retrieves everything by that author - regardless if s/he started it or not)

Unfortunately, no

Hello Gene,

I don't know if this helps too much but you can sort results by author so at least if you search for all posts by "mortgageman" and sort by author then, although you still get all threads the ones started by you are all grouped together.

Of course this works better if you're searching for "ZZyyy" or "Aardvaark", and you don't get the threads in date order......

As you say, it helps a bit, but the fact that I can't do a secondary sort by date (as you also say) mitigates that help. Oh well, I appreciate the suggestion. Strange that the software doesn't have this feature.
