Searches; Not Including Own Name

[Richard A Thackeray]

If I'm trying to find an old post/photograph that I know I've added
When searching, & starting to type the name. my own isn't showing in the list
Have I inadvertantly changed this function??

I'm not sure if it's just this Samsung tablet, as I've not looked at it on my iPhone, or (Windows 10) laptop

Thanks

It's not been auto-filling names for a while now.
Phone, tablet or PC makes no difference.

I found the same thing - it does suggest some names as I type, but not mine.

Works for me. Chrome on iPad and iPhone.
... also just tested on Chrome on windows - works fine

Doesn't autofill my name, but the search still works and returns my posts only if you enter your name manually.

Works ok on my android phone. Autofills my name and others' names

you can also use the "find threads" function for looking for your own threads or posts

@Richard A Thackeray if after the suggestions above you still can't find your post, send me a pm with more details - subject, approx date, thread, some wording if you remember it, and I will try to find it for you.

Seems to suggest names near start of alphabet and the second half has been truncated

Not needed to use it for a while, so not noticed

I've been using it to check for posts in the two quiz threads.

No rhyme or reason to why some appear and others don't.
