Effective Search By Author

All,
I would like to know that how do we search for the posts which are only authored by a person.(unlike the posts to which he/she replies) (The current "Search by author" option gives all posts made by the person)
Like - I need to get the posts made by XXX as he/she is the originator of those but not the responder.
[This is because some people may tend to drop the consolidated information about a particular concept in DataStage as being the author of it.]

While, as you've noted, there's no way to constrain it I have found it simple enough to check the Author column in the search results for that same name. If there are many postings to weed through, then use the Sort By option of 'Author' was well to lump them all together.

Maybe an alternative, chulett.
I tried to filter out all posts sorted by author name as you said(Author name "chulett"), but i could not see the next 50 posts in which the author had participation.[Database busy]
Any solution?

Not sure, I didn't have that problem when I tried out what I was suggesting. Perhaps just try again and see if it is a little less... busy.

All,
Really it has been a big task for every one to list out the posts which are made(authored) by a person. Though Craig came with a remedy for it, it does not make much sense when the database is busy.
To have a list of posts authored by a person, we can include some options like the below ones.
Code: Select all
Options in Search for Author. (All options are radio buttons)
1. As Author
2. As Responder
3. Both (Author and Responder) [default]
Please have a look at this solution as we could reduce a bit time searching for a particular author posts .
