Reddit has notoriously bad search engine. When I can get better results from google it says how bad it is.

I'd like to have search within my profile too. E.g. Search my posts, search my comments.

And please: Full boolean search with synonyms -- what google used to do.

So we actually have that functionality available:

`author_name:Canuck_Voyageur`

https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=author%5C_name%3ACanuck%5C_Voyageur[1][2]

By default, we drop you on the Posts tab, but you can also flip over to Comments for the same thing.

We also support boolean queries as well, just make sure the booleans are all caps:

`Elon Musk AND twitter`

https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=Elon%20Musk%20AND%20twitter&type=link[3][4]

For more ways to filter Search, check out the wiki: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/search[5][6]

Hope that helps!
