When I use this feature it searches for threads containing posts made by every user with the string "mia" anywhere in the Username, rather than only for my Username.

Weird, it does the same even if the specific member number is named:

You're talking about FT Search? Search on Raffles as a user name doesn't bring up thread titles with Raffles - only threads or posts by user names with Raffles. And searching thread titles forvRaffles brings up no posts or threads by user names with Raffles. I must be missing something?

AFAIK normal search on FT doesn't just search for the search terms in thread titles, or am I missing something? You can display the results as threads or posts, but the search seems to go into the text and not just thread titles.

IIRC the problem is that if someone mentions (or quotes?) Raffles the FT member, that thread/post becomes part of the search results when one wants only Raffles the hotel, etc.

Yep, it shows posts made by 'Raffles or rafflesian or Raffles longhaul or raffles90210 or rafflesdude or RafflesHotels or Rafflessplace or Loving My Raffles'

vb search bug/feature, I suppose. :p

But I can't replicate that problem; searching for Raffles, "Find post by user", checking Exact name, I only come up with posts made by Raffles.
