Marc_B Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 I wind up keeping a word document for threads that i find helpful and may need one of these days. But it would be nice if i could "sticky" or "favorite" threads and/or specific posts within the forum. It would be even more amazing if I could then have a search function to search only though the threads that I've favorited/stickied. i.e. I know I saw something about alternator somewhere, but I can't seem to find the post I'm looking for: search "alternator" and click box for "favorited threads/posts only."

I save a PDF of the thread. File name includes topic number and title. Usually don't need to go back to the original topic but, if I need to, I can find it using the topic number and title. Also, you can usually get better results using your favorite search engine if you include the search term "site:mooneyspace.com" (minus the quotes).

Marc_B Posted December 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 I’m familiar with using google search and the “site:…”. So much better search than from within MS. But I’m not sure how to restrict google to threads or posts I personally follow. And I’ve found it super convoluted to find something that I’ve followed or posted in, easily. Viewing this on MS just runs things together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a way to search this or “find” within… some threads creep and I’ve had a few times I KNOW I’ve seen something before but can’t find it again. Hence starting a word document. Basically trying to figure out a sleek way for personal stickies! Would be nice to do this within MS. Also a search function restrictor for a specific user. Ie search only skip’s posts!

You will have to experiment a bit, but the built-in MooneySpace search might work for that: https://mooneyspace.com/search/?&q=extensions&quick=1&author=PT20J&search_and_or=and&updated_after=month&sortby=relevancy &q=extensions (word to search for) &quick=1 (not sure what this does) &author=PT20J (restrict to Skip's posts) &search_and_or=and (restrict to author AND search word) &updated_after=month (last 30 days) &sortby=relevancy It's a little convoluted, but there is a way to get there with the regular user interface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
