It was turned off shortly after we moved to this version of the board because there is a default setting that allows users to search every post an individual has made. Two or three people voiced concerns about the possibility of outing given that search function, and I turned it off.
I may some day be a famous author. if searching means there is the ability to search by poster name, I think it best that the ability not be provided.

of course, this will benefit other socks who may be the one that becomes famous.
