My feature request for EA Forum is the same as my feature request for every site: you should be able to search within a user (i.e. a user’s page should have a search box). This is easy to do technically; you just have to add the author’s name as one of the words in the search index.
(Preferably do it in such a way that a normal post cannot do the same, e.g. you might put ”foo authored this post” in the index as @author:foo but if a normal post contains the text “@author:foo” then perhaps the index only ends up with @author (or author) and foo, while the full string is not in the index (or, if it is in the index, can only be found by searching with quotes a la Google: "@author:foo")
