@Kay It's simply from:me , and there shouldn't be a space in the mentioned operators or usernames.

Here's a page where you can read more info:

@metin Yeah @Kay this doesn't work for all of us in all instances. It all fails for me in mine too & my instance's admins said they're looking into why it doesn't work for me in mine

@ModernDayBartleby @metin @Kay They need to configure full-text search: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/elasticsearch/

@val Who do you mean by "They"? The volunteer admins who run each individual instance?

I'm happy not to have too many fancy extras on Mastodon even if I'd like to be better able to search my own posts. I don't want Mastodon to turn into Twitter.

@metin Thanks for the page link.

It says no spaces so would that mean
from:meSearchTerm? It seems more intuitive to put
from:me SearchTerm but that may be wrong.

Actual examples on layout help.

FWIW I'm old enough to have learnt coding by punching holes in cards. One space wrong and a programme wouldn't run.
