<p>Maybe my brain isn’t working properly today but I can’t seem to find the information I need on how to conduct a search of previous posts. I’m looking for a post I made over a year ago, which contains some information that is going to be difficult for me to locate again. When I search for previous posts for alwaysamom, it doesn’t take me back far enough. Can anyone tell me how to do this, so that I can see posts I made prior to May? I think I’m sleep-deprived from too many late nights watching the Olympics! Thank you!</p>
<p>If you remember the topic or type of info, try using keywords in the search to pinpoint it. I don’t think CC’s posts are searchable by posting date range, an option in some forums.</p>
<p>Actually, there is a date criteria search within the advanced search function, which should work.</p>
<p>Rather than clicking on your username and selecting “Find more posts by…”, what you can do is use the Search drop-down at the top of the page. Select “advanced search”, put your username in the “User Name:” field at upper right, enter one or more keywords in the window at upper left, and change the “Show results as” to Posts from Threads in the lower left. (Make sure the “Find posts from” reads “Any date”.) That will take you back past the 200 posts that are listed when you simply click someone’s “Find more posts by…” option.</p>
<p>Try google advanced search with domain restricted to “<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com</a>” and your username (and any other info) as search terms.</p>
<p>Thank you to all of you!</p>
