sorry to sound so ignorant but is it possible to search for ALL the posts made/threads created by a particular user ACROSS different forums or at least within one? When I do a search on any particular forum, the list of results that show up is definitely not exhaustive. Is there any other way to go about it?

There is not a way to do this - and I dont see any purpose to having such a function

You mean search a username or search a topic?

I was referring to username.

Ed, there are certain uses which are probably not so obvious.
To cite a very simple example, if I want to see a certain post that I myself may have made months back (and, therefore, have no recollection of the exact topic) there is no way to do it accurately, as of now. If I type out my username in the searchbox, it throws up some irrelevant junk. Likewise, as bbr pointed out, there are certain posters on the Moms and Dads forum who give out very valuable advice. It would be helpful if one could just type out the username and get all the posts made by these posters instead of having to scan the list of threads and open the ones we think might be of interest to us (only to find that the title of the thread itself is very misleading).

Errr.... just tried a search and it seemed that everything from every forum came up.
