question I posted in Apple Community

You can use the built-in search if you have some idea of what you posted about. Do the following:

1) Go to the Search page.

2) Enter a single word that you are pretty sure you used and search for it. In this example, try "Korea", without the quotes

3) Ignore the results.

4) Click the "Filter" button

5) Click the "+" button next to "Author"

6) Paste your user name into the field. "HSKang" for you, without the quotes. (You can type too, you just have to wait for the spinning circle to complete after each letter you type.)

7) It will display a little Window with your user name and a few others. Click your name in the list.

8) At this points, the search results will update and show you all posts by you that match the keyword.

And to spare you the pain of doing all that, here's a direct link to your search results for "Korea": Search - Apple Community

If you're handy with editing URLs, you can change that to search for other words associated with your old posts.

To be abundantly clear- the strings Allan posted go in to the search bar of a web browser search engine. (I find them fantastically useful, though I tend to put the site URL at the beginning. It really doesn't matter where). In your case, if you wanted to find a 2019 post, you would put the following into your engine of choice.

site:discussions.apple.com "HSKang" "2019"

This would return these results - site:discussions.apple.com "HSKang" "2019"

Of the results, I found one from 2019. Here it is - I can't see anything on Maps (South Korea) - Apple Community

If you can't find it, try different strings (the text inside quotes). You don't need to use quotes, either- it just returns exact results. Only use quotes if you're sure it was in the post (like your username). If you know part of the title or what you wrote, that could be helpful too.

Good morning!

It's likely still in the database. The in-forum search function, however, often fails to find old posts. For those we all have to rely on a web search. Not just any, but a site-delimited search that only scans Apple Discussions.

This pattern is a place to start:

site:discussions.apple.com  <username>

You can limit other parameters. Try this search string that limits the search to a username, year, and Apple Support Communities:

Username +"username”+"2010" site:discussions.apple.com

Replace "username" that is in quotes with yours, but keep the quotes. If you do not need a date search, leave that part out. You can add a subject in the same way the year is added in the example:

Username +"username”+"reset NRVAM"+"2010" site:discussions.apple.com

Post back if you have problems.

Note: I cannot take credit for creating those strings. Another senior contributor posted them several years ago. They still work.
