Would really like some more efficient or powerful search tools

I'd like to be able to apply filters or search tools to my profile's comment history, to be able to look at... for example,

  • every comment I made in threads from the Concepts and Creations Board.

  • or every comment made between 15 and 20 days ago (or just between specific dates)

  • Search for words in the body of posts rather than just the title

And other useful tools. This would help me a great deal when trying to go back through comments to find obscure references or ideas that would otherwise be lost to the wind.

Scrolling down and clicking "Show More" and then trying to use my browser's search feature is far too clunky and has, so far, yielded zero useful results.

Honestly, I'd settle for basic filters (i.e. contains word, date range, sub-board) and paging.

I hate the "Show More" button. It can be a pain to find anything more than a couple weeks in the past if you post frequently.

The problem is the search would still be bad with all these features. I literally copy paste the title of a post and it's usually on the second page. If I mistype a word or something, it's even further back.
