Ability to search for user:me
  • Currently, we can search for posts by a particular user by including `user:unique_user_number`, where the unique user number can be found from the user's profile url.
  • Would you find it useful to be able to write something like `user:me` to search your own posts?
  • I can easily look up my own unique user number, so for writing searches for my own use this would be merely a convenience. However, where it might be more useful is in writing searches to be shared with others, so the results are for whoever clicks on the link, rather than for the person who wrote the search terms.

Would you find it useful to be able to write something like `user:me` to search your own posts?
