[Meta] How do I search for a Unity Answers User?

Question

I HAVE been able to find posts where the username I'm looking for has been typed, manually by a user, into the body or a comment or a question or answer, but that’s it.

A good example is “Berenger”. Dude has over 1000 comments and answers each: but a search result for his username show only one question, which he didn’t ask/answer or comment on.

This would be useful when I remember that a particular user posted some info I want, but I can't find the user's profile.

Related is another question I've posted, about searching "within" a user profile: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1347183/meta-how-can-i-search-my-answers.html

It also relates to being unable to refine a keyword search by user: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1364252/meta-ua-bug-refine-search-not-working.html

Here is a previously ignored meta question, from last year, asking how to get the results that I am currently getting: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1199805/is-there-a-way-to-search-for-posts-with-tagged-use.html

The only place I could find an option for this would be within this refined search option, but it doesn't seem to be working (did it ever?), like you mentioned in your other post. I'll file a bug report.

Edit: this has now been fixed. However, author usernames are case-sensitive when performing the search, and we're looking into changing this.

"I'll file a bug report." Thank you. Is there someone I could/should be doing that myself, rather than posting a meta Q?

No, UA runs on a third party software so it's only b2b access for things like reporting issues.

Thanks for getting that fixed!
Still no way to get ALL posts by a user, I can only refine a search; is that correct?
