    Is there a way I can search my own posts in my Modx profile?

    Over the years I've had some great tips, advice and help but the list is getting pretty long now.

    And I know I've got answers in there that I'll keep coming back to.

    Anyway, anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks

        modx + MarkG + topic/title should work

            So No would be the correct answer. It's not actually possible.

              Yes, that's right. Nothing can beat google's algorithms for search, so integrating google is the best solution.

              The Discuss add-on which runs this forum was made for developers to use any number of search solutions, such as Solr which was hot at the time.

              Basically the google integration never happened. Not really needed for a board of developers...

                MarkG, similar to what Paul said above, you could try:
                markg <search term> site:modx.com
                in google. I got pretty good results using my id.

                  </search>

                  I am not sure if anyone could do better than this. maybe 

                  markg <search term> site:forums.modx.com


                  would be slightly more targeted. And I believe the old forum had/has a different url, man I hardly remember that one now.
