Find in Messages problem

Community Website and Forum

I am involved in a long exchange of messages with a user and need to find when I first suggested the use of a command in the sketch that we are developing

The command that I wish to find is RUN: but I can't make the search work. Searching for RUN allows the usual this topic/all topics and posts option but is of little use in the context of the conversation

Using RUN: as a search term produces this odd dialogue box

Searching for "RUN:" does not offer the choice of "this topic"

The problem seems to be the word RUN and/or the colon

Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can search for RUN:

It looks like the engine used the colon as a way to filter, it might get confused without the double quotes

Did you try

"RUN:" @UKHeliBob

Or

"RUN:" @UKHeliBob topic:501127

Where 501127 is the topic Of interest’s ID

➜ may be this thread? Up counter using millis() and Arduino Uno - #39 by UKHeliBob

That works. Thanks for the suggestion

In the meantime I found another term to search for that worked. Thank goodness for version numbers of sketches and notes as to what was added in each

Definitely a good practice that we don’t see enough

Thanks! That nicely explained I was having the same issue by the way.
