How to search only in my threads?

Question
-
Hi team,
Is there a way to search only in my threads in this forum? Usually I need to take a look to an old thread I posted some time ago and I do it page by page. Is there a better way to do it? Also, I noticed this same question asked on some others posts, but using Google as a workaround procedure didn’t return all my 356 posts. So, I am asking it again hoping there is some other possibility.
Thanks,

Advanced search by user is in our backlog, I wouldn't expect this to become available very soon though.

It will be nice if such possibility will be added. As a workaround I usually just google. Using google helps me to quickly find threads I'm interested in.

Unfortunately, Google does not return all my threadsL. Do you know why?

No, I don't know. It doesn't return all mine either, but usually I'm able to find what I'm looking for using good search words.

Thanks, but it still far away; 62 of 358. Anyway, I hope MS develop this functionally soon.

This method works for me when i search for particular topic from my threads. Just typing it in search box
microsoft.com/forums/en-us + USERNAME + TOPIC
Example below will find all my threads with the word ISolatedStorage
microsoft.com/forums/en-us + kaymaf + IsolatedStorage

Thanks team for all answers and support. Any free RSS feed reader to recommend? Also, where do I find the RSS address for this Forum? Also, Kaymaf, which search box do you mean; the one at the top of this Forum?
Have a nice weekend, J

I tried to use the “Feedreader 3.14” tool from http://feedreader.com/, but it downloaded only few posts from this Forum, not all of them (9 of more than 300). Also, the Google reader tool gave me the same result; it downloaded the same 9 (nine) posts. Does anyone know why?

Because you are just starting so it is limiting results by date or something. Keep periodically pulling feeds and the number that you keep (or display) will be up to your cache setting.---

I am not sure partner; it pools threads in strange random order! I thought it was related to authentication or archive size, but even after setting those informations and update the feed again manually, it didn’t download any other post.
