Continuing the discussion from [Search of category and user should return results](https://meta.discourse.org/t/search-of-category-and-user-should-return-results/29752):
The user wants to see all their _posts_ in a specific category.
Is there any way to limit the search to just the initial topic post?
```
username:myname category:mycategory SOMETHING
```
What does “in:posted” mean? Perhaps “in:initial”? Or “in:first” or something.

I don’t think there is any way to do this at the moment. Probably when we do full page advanced search in a few months we can add that.
