Using the 'Advanced Search' feature on my 'Subscribed Threads' only

[jfarc]

Is there any way to do this?

Many times I know I've come across a certain topic that I added to my 'Subscribed Threads' list, so it is now full of many pages of great info specific to my past needs. But when I want to find one of these past threads I've already subscribed to, I can't seem to use the Search function and limit it only to my list of Subscribed Threads.

If this isn't a feature, it would be great to add this so it can be done without going through the entire process of re-searching the million+ posts out here to look for the one I know I've already tagged.

As far as I am aware - No. You are right that it would be handy though.

A couple of options to consider given the current circumstances.

1. I generally use Google Chrome as my browser and add those 'special' threads to my Bookmarks, which are organised into folders (eg Filter, Lookup, Data Validation etc). When adding to Bookmarks I can also rename the item to something meaningful to me. This makes finding the special threads/posts considerably easier and the Bookmarks can be searched if required. I occasionally export my Bookmarks and save them to a Cloud Drive so that I can still get access to the list/hyperlinks even when away from my normal computer.

2. When subscribing to threads manually, you can add them to specific folders (again Filter, Lookup, Data Validation or whatever you like) which may also help locate them later. Folders created/edited via Subscribed Threads -> My Subscriptions -> Edit Folders. The problem with this is that, as far as I am aware, you cannot rename the hyperlink so if the thread title is say "Help", that doesn't tell you much. For that reason I don't use this method but you might find it some use.

...... adding to Bookmarks ......

I didn't think about this. That would be a good solution since this forum doesn't have the capability. I also already created & maintain quite a large Excel workbook with all the coding samples I've found that were useful. But, sometimes the concepts that are discussed in these threads are as valuable as the actual coding itself.

Thanks!
