Agree. It is all available on your personal page here. Individual forum search is by topic (not name) and the search bar at the top of each forum page defaults to the forum it is located on.

If you want to see more than on that first page you just click on the "Show More" bar at the bottom of each page.

If you try to search by the author of the thread (ie: Don V) then no, as it pulls up anything with any of those letters in it.

The search engine for content here is maddening. To search for a keyword within a particular topic (for example "yellow leaves" in the topic Citrus), you have to go to that topic's page and then enter your search term in the box, and make sure you pick the topic when it appears in green. Then, once in the search results, if you decide to change your search terms, you can't just go up to the box and search again or you'll get all of Houzz. You have to go back to the homepage of the topic. Clunky but that's how to get a more focused search.
