Click search -> phrase: nando4 -> Search type: "Find posts by user" results in no posts found. This is the full URL it uses:

https://wpforo.com/community/?wpfd=0&wpfob=relevancy&wpfo=desc&wpfs=nando4&wpfin=user-posts

Change Search type to "Search entire posts" and it find my posts using this URL:

https://wpforo.com/community/?wpfd=0&wpfob=relevancy&wpfo=desc&wpfs=nando4&wpfin=entire-posts

The same problem is on my forum.

Can we get a fix for Search type "Find posts by user" and "Find topics started by user"?

wpForo Search doesn't have "Find Post by User" search option and there is no any bug here. Your username is being tracked as a simple phrase and the search works fine, it brings all posts which contains your username.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Thank you for the quick response.

If Find posts by user and Find topics started by user don't do anything why even show it? The user interface is now showing functionality that doesn't exist. You can see the option comes up in the drop down as shown:

By not including this functionality, it's only a keyword search.

As is now, I cannot list all topics *started* by a designated user.

That would be the most basic important search to do on a forum. Can you please submit this as a bug or feature request because it's important functionality that is currently missing?
