Search by username is broken

12,626 1,057 June 6, 2025 at 09:00 AM
Searching by username ("Posts by" option selected) was turning up no results for the past few months I assume since the redesign, and now only shows threads started by me.

This was how I followed up on threads I replied in.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you for reporting this. I'm not sure when a fix for this issue may go out, but I have shared this feedback with the team working on the search project.

Could you provide the search url that you're using to perform a search when you get no results and a screenshot of the search page?

I'm using the "posts by" option with my username on the search page (https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?) to get there.

This link used to pull up all threads in which I've replied.
Then for the past few months (possibly linked to redesign), it started not pulling up anything.
In the past week or two, it started pulling up only the threads I've started (equivalent to the "threads by" search option).
