In the advanced search filters, one option is to search using ‘posted by’ but this option doesn’t allow one to select posts from a certain group. For example, all posts from members in the trust_level_3 group. [image] I don’t think this is a feature nor is it technically a bug, so I’m posting it …

I think you can use group:GROUPNAME to search all the posts posted by a certain group? The group_messages:GROUPNAME one is for searching group inboxes.

You’re awesome. I was interested in this topic because I was pretty sure I had achieved search by group here one day, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it again :sweat_smile: I must have done it empirically… The API doc doesn’t mention this query parameter. It might be nice to add it! …

Thanks a lot! That’s very helpful! While using the filter, I found out that I have users in other groups that I want to exclude. So I want the search to show from group A except those in group (staff) :grin: I hope it works but if it doesn’t then I understand we probably need to use Data Explorer …

I got back to this as I’m now using it again and when I use the group filter it shows all posts from that specific group (as you explained), but is there a way to filter out the topics i.e. the OP should be from the group. I know it’s possible using Data Explorer but again it would be helpful. Than…

Would adding in:first to the search help with that?

If I make this topic a bit wider, but staying in advanced search do we have a list of all in: options or are those just same what we can choose at advanced search page?

Amazing! Exactly what I’m looking for with my question. :heart_eyes: Thanks!

It’d be really nice if all these keywords for advanced search were grouped somewhere!

I don’t think we currently have one of those. It’s been mentioned a couple of times, and is on one of my many lists, but I haven’t got to it yet. :slight_smile: I agree it would be good though.
