No way to search for keywords in sigs?


I was surprised to discover that a keyword search using "search entire posts" will not find keywords in the signature. Is there any way to do this?

I think that's not possible because, our signature is not saved under post!
if you modify your signature and go back to a month back post ..... you signature will be latest signature .

May be that was the reason.

Actually a post is saving " whether it was published with signature or without "

good insight!!---so the correct question maybe is: How do you search member signatures?

Hi Pixellany,
Even "Advance search" is also not providing a option to search through the member signature.

Searching signature -> searching signatures from every member profile .

Many signatures has nice links, good tutorials. It is better to have a search field to check even signatures also.

There is no way to search member signatures at this time. We currently have no plans to add this functionality, although if the demand were there we may consider it.
