Searching for one's posts

Posted by Deneb on October 3, 2005, at 23:24:50

I get widely differing results when I search for

poster:Deneb vs poster: Deneb

Which result is indicative of the number of posts I've made?

Deneb

It would seem like the term

"poster: Deneb" gives the more reasonable result, but I've done with with other poster's names and gotten very different and confusing results

What's up with the search engine?

Deneb

There should be no space after the ":", see:

Hmmm...I'm going to keep track of the number of posts I make for a while to see if the search is accurate.

The search shows I've made 127 posts since my name change from Shy_Girl to Deneb on May 25, 2005. This means I've made about 1 post/day on average. This just seems like a really low number to me.
