Defined Search terms:
Username - bdcheung
Find threads started by user
Sort by post date

Everything else is in its default state. Submitting returns this error:
Sorry, we were unable to fulfill your request

Cause: Your search terms confused me!

Please try revising your search terms and try again. If you believe your search terms should be returning results, please create a post in the user support forum, detailing exactly what you were searching for and an idea of what you feel it should be returning for results.

Remember, this is a beta test. With your feedback, we can improve this search tool to be the best it can be!

Also, it appears that if you search for "Posts by user" it functions as if you're searching for "Threads started by user"

I'm not seeing either problem. I search on your user name and I get results. I search on my username with "Posts by user" and I get results from threads I didn't start.

There is a problem with the thread display mode that we are looking into.

I don't know how else to explain it - the problem is still present, though. When I search for posts by username, all I'm getting is threads started by the user - not posts. So, for example, when I do a search for all posts by bdcheung, I don't see any replies that I have made (this post included). I do, however, see the original post in this thread, and every other original post I have made.

Why Oh why couldn't they just leave well enough alone.
