Don't be sorry! I haven't seen anything else on the topic.

It's been discussed a few times before, and the consensus was no, there's not a way.

Thanks--so I'm back where I started, although this time with certainty!

I’ve previously grumped about this and it appears it’s a software limitation at the developer level.

You can, sorta, search by conversation and/or by poster.

 

Click on the “search” tab in the upper right corner.

Click on “Advanced search” to expand the search window.

I suggest clicking on “Search threads” vice “Search everything”

You can type in the name of a poster and you will get back a list of everything they have posted.

If you also type in a keyword(s) the search will limit the results to those matches. Keywords must be more than 3 characters.

The Newer than box has variable results and I haven’t found it very helpful.

 

Old software would allow selection of a “time window” that was quite helpful.

Old software would also allow you to limit search to just a particular sub-forum.

 

Experiment with your own postings so you see what kind of results you get back.
