searching questions I answered using Google

I want to find a post that I answered a question on some time back - can some kind soul remind me what to put in google to allow me to do this

From Buenchico when I asked this


You can use Google to restrict a search to any website by adding "site:xxxxxx" (where xxxxxs is the domain name) to the end of a search.

Putting + in front of a search term on Google will ensure that that search term MUST occur within the results

So the following search line will look for your pages containing BOTH your username and mine, SOLELY on this site:
+mamyalynne +buenchico site:theanswerbank.co.uk

However that isn't guaranteed to find every thread where we both posted. If you only posted the third response on a thread, and I then posted only the 50th response, there would be no single page with both our usernames on it. Even so, it's worth a try.

Why not just use the search on AB, if you search for any word or phrase and your username it will find it, for example searching for

Searching wolf63

Brings up this question as the top result.
