I tried using the
Original Search option and entered
posted by user(s) as
ChrisM.
The search found no matches because it inserted an
@.
I removed the
@ and
Search again and it worked OK!

... whereas @PeterR and @tatewise both work with the @ prefix.

After a bit more experimentation it seems that
ChrisM has a split personality ! !
If
Cambiz or
@Cambiz is used instead, then
Search for
posted by user(s) works correctly and finds all the
Cambiz /
ChrisM items!
Similarly, in
Member List usually
Search for
ChrisM does not find him, but
Cambiz does.
Although, occasionally
ChrisM did work!
BTW:
I was wrong in first posting when I said it worked OK.
It was finding wherever '
ChrisM' appeared in the message body, not as a username, although he was usually the owner of the thread.

I think I did amend my profile a little while ago
At the moment I have
USERNAME: Cambiz (I think elsewhere in FHUG or Calico Pie it is cambizz to make the waters even muddier)
NAME: ChrisM
I'm intrigued why you were looking for me.

I just wanted to check my recollection that you were involved in the recent amendments to the
Wish List, in order to enter a
Note near the end of thread
Display Name Suffix On Diagrams, Focus Window, etc, regarding
Wish List Ref 429, Show Name Prefix and Suffixes on all reports.
Allowing users to set their
Login Username different from their
Profile Name makes finding them in the
Member List or including them in
Original Search criteria almost impossible.
