Hey what's with the ego search? Embarassed

It only came up with 90 matches while my profile says 170 (this is #171), and doing the author search from the profile yeilds all 170 posts.

I don't know. There may be a time range associated with the ego search.

When you do a search on just author there isn't an associated time range by default.

Umm...was that 170 posts? or 170 topics you've posted to?

Switch the radio button at the left bottom of the search page to select posts rather than topics, and the number goes up dramatically Smile

Took me a minute to figure out how the count was coming up weird, but I think that'll get you where you expect to be...

Yep that seems to be what it is. It looks like the egosearch is doing distinct topics while the author search is doing distinct posts.

I also noticed that when you search for posts, you get the first 2-3 lines of the message, but when you search for topics you don't get any message digests.

Too bad the message digests in the posts mode don't translate the BBCode. Any BBCode come through as plain text.
