Hi {member}.

I wanted to find a poem titled 'Dance of Death' so I would:

1. Click on the 'Search' at the top of the forum, near our logo.
   
2. Then immediately click on the 'More Options' button at the bottom of the screen.
   
3. Type in your title (left side of screen) in the 'Search by Keywords' input box (If you add a plus sign between words, it will search for that string exactly). In my example, I typed: +dance+of+death
   
4. Choose the forum to search (or leave it as 'All Forums' from the 'Search Where' selection menu below the keywords input box).
   
5. In the 'Search posts from' choose your date range (I chose 'any date' and also chose 'newer'.
   
6. In the 'Search Where' selection, I chose 'Search titles only'.
   
7. Click 'Perform the Search' button.

In my example, 11 results displayed. I was able to then click into to my post (posted) in both forums, Cleo's Showcase and Plato's Pearls of Wisdom (exhibition forum).

That should work. You could also go 'click on your name' from a thread or the member list and from the Profile menu (top right drop down box) choose 'Find Members Topics', but I don't recommend that way, unless the member doesn't have too many posts/topics to search.

Please let me know if these instructions work for you...

Cheers!

Hi Lori!

LOL I forgot to click on MORE OPTIONS ... TITLES ONLY and come up with all kinds of things but when done right it works great!

Hi Cathy.

I've done that before and then go HUH?

Glad you worked it through - did you find everything OK in the end?

Cheers!

LOL Yep! Once I'd figured out what I did wrong everything went fine!
