Glitch with "My Threads"
 
When I click the "My Threads" link under the quick links menu, the search that is performed finds:

Posts Made By: swaghmar or swaggie or swag or mswagner25 or swagcom or swagner or SWAGuy or swaguymario or swags or swagda or swaggyp or Swagfndr or JokerSwag or JTSWAGGER or volkswagen_nut or honuswagner or JetSetSwagger or chaswagon or volkswaggin or carlswagga or SWAGBUCKS or SwagBucksTricks or mrswagers or Jack Swagger or swagger
Any way to change this search to be on the exact name, instead of `includes`?

Wow... That's weird. We'll take a look.

It looks like the "My Threads" link does the same thing as doing a "Search By User Name" going through the "Advanced Search" and not ticking the "Exact name" box. This may not have appeared as a glitch before as I'm sure there must be only a few usernames (like swag) that could actually be a part of someone else's username. In other words, nobody else has a username that contains l-o-2-e, so when I hit "My Threads", I only get results for me. So it looks like the solution is to just tick that box behind the scenes of the MyThreads link.

Any updates?

Can I bump this thread? 4 years later, no fix, all that has changed is the number of users with "swag" embedded in their name has doubled. :o

It seems like an easy fix; advanced search by username already allows an option for exact match. All I'm asking is that the My Threads/My Posts links use that existing code path.

Time for my annual bump. Any chance of getting this tweak done?

Looks like this is finally fixed.

Six years in, I'd given up hope. But whoever fixed it, thanks!

... and without any known intervention from the FT tech team. Which is good, I guess, or possibly really bad.
