Is there a way to use search words for your private messages?
From what I know and what I can find online for XenForo (the software that this forum runs on) there isn't a built in way to search your private messages.

Okay, thank you, @Satal. I will stop searching for the search feature. Much appreciated.

On the topic of search i wish it was possible to search for a string of words in the order that you make the query. Right now it just searches for posts containing those words in any order.

That would be useful.
Narrow the results.

If you know which thread it is in press control then tap the letter f. Start typing what you are looking for and it should highlight it. I use this all the time.

Dependant on your browser the little search box can be along the bottom bar or near the address bar. Note that is only searches the page you are on, not the whole site.

Option B is do a external search using your internet search engine. Type what you are looking for and include the site name. Sometimes it works.
