Problem with "Search"

Specifically, how do I search for those thread that I have participated in.

If I put my name in the "Threads By" it comes up with 20 responses (more would be better), but those responses are ONLY THREADS I STARTED - NOT those that I participated in.

If I put my name in the "Posts By", now it only comes up with 10 responses that are bloated with extraneous text which results in a scroll window - and to make matters worse, some of those responses are redundant. For example, in my "Job in Pomona area - Group Photo - $150.00 - jpgs on disk." thread it lists BOTH of the posts I have made there.

So, how do I get a "Threads By" appearing result (20 responses - one line each), but rather than me being the thread starter, have the result be threads that I have posted in.

I just found 267 threads that you participated in; not started. 10 per page.
Just click on Search, Posts By, "Pick Myself"

Those two "Job in Pomona area" posts are two separate posts done by you. And that is what you searched for.

When you search posts by the result list will show posts, and excerpts pretty much like Google does. If you see "too many" results, add keywords or filter by forums (you can drag forum names from results to "IN FORUMS").

THREADS BY combined to POSTS by can do searches like
"POSTS BY pekka in THREADS STARTED BY jon or Radtech1"
but at the moment there is no THREADS NOT STARTED BY.

What I was hoping for was the same result appearance as "Threads By" (20 results per page, 1 line per result) but instead of showing only those threads I started, rather the list would be all threads I have participated in.

Maybe there is another way to do it...In the end, I would like a quick way to view the 20 (or whatever) threads that I am in. Is there a new way that does not involve search?

How about Latest Posts in https://photography-on-the.net/forum/member.p​hp?m=10194 ? It has realtime data (unlike search) and pretty much shows were you have been posting.

Yes,

I found that after I made my last post. Thanks.

That is 99% of what I was hoping for. The only thing that I wish was different was that it did not redundancies. In other words, that it did not show the same thread multiple times just because that thread has received multiple replies.

And thanks for all your effort. Outstanding work.

Keep in mind that I don't even like change when it is my idea,, and for me to say, "This is pretty good" says a lot! Well done. After all, I still remember this:
