Why do some users adjust their setting so people can’t search for their old posts??

Are they scared of what people might find, or that their hypocrisy can be more easily exposed??

Is that even a thing? I know some users delete posts, but have never heard of a setting that makes it so people can’t search old posts.
Nah bro I’m sweet.

In for how that's done. I've seen the accusation, but never the details regarding how this is accomplished.

Ok well perhaps I’m wrong, or maybe it’s an issue with mobile(or other problem). Earlier I was trying to search for posts by Bodhy which contain the word “Trump” but get no results. Obviously he has posts which contain that word and I’ve experienced the same thing with some other posters. However there are other times I’ll search for posts by a different user and get tons of results.



Again, I may be wrong but if so I’m in to find out what is causing no results to populate.

doesn't work like that.

you can look up threads who have the word trump in them and the biggest ones will show up first.

But I can normally search by posts from a certain user. Like if you put my name in and search for a word like Trump you’ll get tons of results. If you put Bodhy in as the user you’ll get no results. Even if you copy the word “Epstein” from his recent playdoh panic thread and use that as the keyword while putting him as the user you’ll get no results.

that's because the search system isn't accurate.

OP, why were you searching for my posts with the word Trump in them?

That was just an example of a word that I know you’ve used but shows no results. I do sometimes search for old posts from users here to see how their views have evolved over time though.

Good strategy for turning discussions to be about discussants rather than topics.

Ask GAChase, hes the master at the search function or more than likely he has every single post, etc being continually stored/archived.
