Using LQ Search to find a poll.


Hi:

I know I once did a poll, by clicking the box 'make a poll' in Additional Options when posting my thread. I now want to read it but I don't remember how it is called or the date. How can I use LQ Search to find it, if at all possible?

Are you sure about that?

If I check all posts started by you, none have a poll attached (to be more precise: None show the poll icon/word).

This works: Goto advanced search, fill in poll as search keyword, your user name as User name keyword and set the Find threads started by user instead of the Find posts by user option. In your case you get 2 hits, none of which are actual polls, but try it with poll and for example oskar and you get a poll (the Rank your religiousness poll).

Hope this helps.
