I asked about something on U&L some time ago. How do I search for my own question, based on a word in the subject line? For the search - I only want results with questions from me. Can that be done, if so how?
- Since this is not a discussion forum, but a questions and answers site, I changed "posts started by me" to "questions from me" in the text. If this misrepresents what you intended with your Meta question, then please clarify it.Kusalananda– Kusalananda Mod2023-11-05 06:29:22 +00:00Commented Nov 5, 2023 at 6:29

It's not too bad, once you know where to look! The way I usually do it is to:
- go to the profile, e.g. mine or yours ("current" magic link)
- the search box near the top will have inserted text, such as
user:117549. Add to that:is:q title:word-to-search-for, such asis:q title:systemd; the resulting search will be limited to questions that you asked that have the given word in the title.
See https://unix.stackexchange.com/help/searching for more search operators. Hat tip to Glorfindel's answer for the /current link.
Kusalananda points out a shorter version:
- In the search box, enter:
user:me is:q title:word-to-search-for - There is no step 2! :)
- 4
user:mealso works, no need to find the right user ID number.2023-11-05 06:31:04 +00:00Commented Nov 5, 2023 at 6:31
