  A week, 200 views and no responses? No one agrees with me here?

  How come there is no advanced search in the forums? Basically all I want to do is find all the threads that I started, but I can only find all the threads that I've posted in, which is far too many to look through. Is there a reason these forums don't have it? I'm assuming it's not an implementation problem as almost every free forum has advanced search.

  
  hi ,
  
  you can use a seach engine for that or use the add in .
  
  the vast amount of data make it hard to search them all , just use keywords and the + sign for example
  
  the live toolbar does a nice job also in finding particular threads
  
  have a nice day

  Hi ScottyDoesKnow,
  
  if you use the searchbox at the top of the page (Search msdn with bing) then you can easily search for the threads you have started by using:
  
  meta:Search.MSForums.ThreadStarterUserName(ScottyDoesKnow)

  Advanced search would be better than trying to find and remember pieces of program code, though.
