(18,237 posts)1. It worked for me.
You post a lot about your socks
I am assuming that you are just not getting a result.
Searching for terms other than in a title has never worked for me. I end up with a blank screen. i guess it times out.
Leave search term blank
Put your name in, with no leading or trailing blanks
Forum or group leave at main or if you think it was a group you can change to All
Leave post type at title
Put in a begin date Feb 1 or such
Put in an end date Feb 15 or so
Let 'er rip.

There is a limit to the number of results so you may have to keep the date range short and search several times.
