Issue with advanced search when scoping to messages I posted

AndreaPi · 12월 12, 2018, 5:09오후

Hi,

when searching for posts by a certain user, in topics to which I have posted, the advanced search returns 0 hits, even though this user has posted answers in many of my topics. This is happening on the RStudio community, which uses Discourse:

This advanced search feature was introduced last year:

I would have posted in that topic, but I can’t because it’s now closed, so I’m opening a new one. Thanks for your attention and for this wonderful platform,

Andrea

Can you repro this @jomaxro?

Yep, this isn’t working (or the in:posted filter doesn’t do what we think it does). @codinghorror and I have posted in many of the same topics, yet Search results for '@codinghorror in:posted' - Discourse Meta returns 0 results.

That filter is used to search in your posts

              posts.where("posts.id IN (
                                    SELECT pa.post_id FROM post_actions pa
                                    WHERE pa.user_id = #{@guardian.user.id} AND
                                          pa.post_action_type_id = #{post_action_type} AND
                                          deleted_at IS NULL
                                 )")
            end
          end
          
          advanced_filter(/in:posted/) do |posts|
            posts.where("posts.user_id = #{@guardian.user.id}") if @guardian.user
          end
          
          advanced_filter(/in:(watching|tracking)/) do |posts, match|
            if @guardian.user
              level = TopicUser.notification_levels[match.to_sym]
              posts.where("posts.topic_id IN (
                            SELECT tu.topic_id FROM topic_users tu
                            WHERE tu.user_id = :user_id AND
                                  tu.notification_level >= :level

So that is the confusion. This is being interpreted as “search all topics I posted in” when in reality it means “search all my posts”.

Ok. So which advanced search would allow me to all posts by User X, in topics in which I posted? Or, if this isn’t possible, all my posts, in topics opened by User X? Thanks

You might need to use the Data Explorer plugin for that. It’s kind of an unusual query.
