Has anyone figured out how to search for usernames? Is there a way to get past this goodle crapola?

Am I the only self-obsessed person on here willing to ask such a question?

go in a thread, click on "search this thread" and then you'll have the "advanced search" option.

it's weird I have the "advanced search" option from the "search" menu from work, but not at home, where I need to do what I said above.

yeah, like that.

or you could view your profile and click Find all posts by... or Find all threads started by...

but it still only searches as far back as when the board was upgraded, right?

No, I actually did this on occasion also just out of curiosity. My name is too short to use in the search engine now so I guess I'll have to live in blissful ignorance.
