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.
