Used to when I started to enter a members name a whole bunch of names would pop up below and you could click on one of the available ones. That doesn't seem to work anymore. Is that a CF thing or did I screw my computer up or my firefox settings. Thanks

It seems to have gone away. Doesn't do that for me with either IE7 or with Firefox 3.0.12.

But you can still type in part of a name and click on the button at the bottom of the screen to do the search.

I didn't know you could use a partial so that should work. Thanks

You can do a partial, but make sure you remove the "Exact name" checkmark. Otherwise, it won't work as a partial and you'll receive an error if the partial you enter does not match any user name.

I looked, but the advanced search doesn't seem to have such an option as "Exact Name." Maybe I missed it somewhere.

Okay, I thought he was doing a search on forum member names, not on a search of threads looking for text by a particular member.
