Help: Searching by date

From: GUEST,JTT

How do I search for an incidence of someone's name in the last month or two months, or whatever? I'm a little worried because I haven't heard from a couple of catters for a fortnight and didn't realise they were going away - but my search seems to bring up posts from the year 2000.

That only works for thread titles though.

once you've found anyones posting from any time, if you click on their name in any thread it will take you to a list of all their postings, with most recent first.

Mario's way is useful, but it won't find anything that was posted as a guest, whether you're a registered member or not. So: go to a thread anywhere, find the name (Guest, Bill Kennedy) for example and click on it. Or go to a thread that just contains a registered name, (Bill Kennedy) and you'll get a list of all the postings made that way. No way to get them both in one list.
