@Vai: I'm not all that convinced that the search is working properly. I've just searched for posts for me (TMShucks) and only get 5 back. There are two from way back when I needed help on a contract I was working on, one when I introduced myself to the moderators, and 2 reported posts. Now, I'm pretty sure I've reported more than 2 posts.

I've reported lots of SPAM, self promotion and advertising both as an "ordinary" contributor and as a moderator.

The only selection criteria were "posts" and User Name: TMShucks.

@Vai: I suspect just reported posts because I haven't actually asked that many questions plus my intro. So, yes, but I would have expected more. From a personal point of view, no big deal as I'm not going to be searching for reported posts.

Yes exactly, no one will want to search reported posts, i have spent last 30 minutes trying to search posts of different users old and new and it is showing all the posts for each user...
Still if you find any issues in search please let me know ..

no you are right I'm looking at all your posts in the threads you started (5) and the reported posts about (3)

[TMShucks]

I've reported a lot more posts than 3. However, it's probably no big deal as I'm not really going to go looking for them. My concern is that the search should either find all the reported posts or none of them ... it just seems to lack consistency, which is worrying.

If I don't limit it to posts, I also get half a dozen visitor messages which may or may nor be visibible to others.

I don't want to rain on the parade if everyone else is happy with what they're getting back.

[Domski]

Seems to be working but searches are taking over a minute to come back with results which can't be right.
