Searching threads started by me & containing posts by a given user.
Main Menu > Search. By means of this feature, is it possible to find all threads started by me an containing posts by a given user? I have tried, but unsuccessfully. Greetings.

No, this is not currently possible.

The closest I have come is to put one username, probably yours, in the "Search by User Name" box & the other in the "Search by Keyword" box.

I have just done what you have pointed out, but no use. It's as simple as this, I think (I don't know what that "closest" you've got is): the engine doesn't bother to look for the name (the poster's username) on the left of the post subwindow. If you are lucky, somebody, most probably you, wrote the other username in the post body. Greetings.
