Would it be possible?

Question

On the activities page be able to filter by the type of Activity (say, answered the question, marked a question as answered, proposed an answer, contributed helpful post, etc.)

It would be very helpful. Say, I'm trying to find quite recent thread, and I believe it should be in my answers, but I'm unable to do so.

This level of filtering is available on the user's thread's page. You can reach this from your profile page, by clicking the link in the Activities header (next to the title "Activity").

You can also reach there via:

I'm not sure I understand what do you mean and I don't see a way right now to filter all my answers only (in all forums) or all my helpful votes only (in all forums), etc.

Use Google web search. Seriously. Even BING seems to be inhibited from seeing all my posts. So I use Google web search to find them. Another advantage to using Google instead of BING is that Google allows you to search with the inurl: search term attribute when that seems useful.

So for example, this finds many more hits

http://www.google.ca/search?q=aldwinckle+inurl%3AInternetExplorer+site%3Aanswers.microsoft.com&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-ca:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&redir_esc=&ei=PsiKS5XmMoeXtgexy_3pBA

than this

http://www.bing.com/search?q=aldwinckle+InternetExplorer+site%3Aanswers.microsoft.com&form=QBRE&filt=all&qs=n

or this

http://search.microsoft.com/Results..aspx?q=aldwinckle+InternetExplorer+site%3Aanswers.microsoft.com&mkt=en-US&FORM=QBME1&l=1&refradio=0&qsc0=0

Of course, Google can't know anything about whether my answer was marked as an answer but my main objective is finding a link to some information that I have provided previously and don't want to have to retype.

I just discovered that this is already available, using the RSS button. E.g. in the Activities page click on that and then type: Answered in the input box to filter on that. ; )

It is a great post, but I don't understand exactly what should I put in the google search window. If I try to put the exact same expression as he shows, I come up with nothing.

You didn't quote anything and I don't use the threaded view but I'm guessing you are replying to Dabur972? The article makes clear that you couldn't use Google to search for meta: data. In fact, I found out you can't even use BING to do it. I only got useful results from a Microsoft search. But there is no way of ordering the results by date that I can see. FWIW I think filtering the RSS feed for your activies is the simplest solution so far. ; ) If Microsoft search had a sort by date feature then all that extra syntax might be worth exploiting. And it again prompts the question WTH is this stuff not documented and not supported by the Microsoft Advanced search page to make it more usable?

I actually tried yesterday with BING and got the results. With google I got nothing. Anyway, it sounds a bit too complex for me, I'd rather have a simple ability here to filter my answers by forum and by what kind of reply it was.

And also have search functioning correctly and allowing sorting.

If forum's development team can provide us with this functionality and also return back the total numbers of answers and posts, it would be very helpful.

I need a simple way inside the forum to search within my own answers in a reverse chronological order. Say, I answered a question recently and now there is a very similar question and I have to repeat my answer again because I can not find that thread.

Have you tried the RSS feed idea yet? Reverse chronological order is its default.
