Is there any way to search for something you posted that wasn't a main post?

[marym625]

I know how to search for a main post, but not for a reply. I had posted statistics from the CDC that took a great deal of research. But I can't find it.

Thank you for any help you can give me

1. Try to remember any key words that might come to mind.

There is a place in the Search for those.

You can also hit "reply" in the choices.

Hope that helps.

4. Oh thank you!

I never noticed that you could use "reply"

2. Go to Advanced search link up right under Search button

If you remember any key words (cdc for instance) from the post you want, put that into search terms. Put your name into Author. Make sure you have the right forum or group in that part, or scroll all the way top for all if you can't remember. Next box, scroll down and click on all posts. Finally set the dates for around when you think it was, with extra time on the ends if you can't remember.

Good luck.

5. Thanks so much

I wasn't aware you could search for replies. I appreciate it!

3. The advice above, PLUS, narrow the range if you know roughly the date or week of the reply.

I've usually been able to find an reply I needed to find.

And then use "search tools" to narrow the date if you don't see your reply.

6. Oh Damn!

There it is! That's so cool. Never thought to do that. Thanks so much!

Awesome!

Hope you are feeling well
