Do not bother with the search engine embedded in the forum software. Instead use google advanced search (or similar) and limit the search to BBO forum domain.

Already done: zero resulting. The topic's author is "haver" probably inactive.

The forum search feature doesn't allow words shorter than 4 characters, so you can't search for "NT".

Don't forget to extend the search period to beyond the last 30 days?

Yes, this (second) one already experimented. If in post there is the/a name (of author) or title (or part of it) could (easy) be found, if anyone remember the author of topic can contact him/her to have indication if is active, but if is not ? And this one can happen also for, let's say mtvesuvius or Chamaco (that have done a lot of interesting posts/topics but are not actually active - i think). How to find an old topic when there is not any indication of this type ? Can anyone suggest a way ?

What is it ? When i click on return to me the "Search" box. Just a while the second chance was "Opponents needed" by hrothgar that evidently both didn't get out because i avoided to insert in "Search" the indication of "topic title only" that now work. How can do for getting out the first (that en passant is on last page of "General bridge discussion" - the other two on previously page) ?

How are you doing the search? Are you just using the search box at the top of the page, or do you click on the gear icon to go to the advanced search form? If you use the search box, it only searches the current forum. The advanced search form lets you search multiple forums, specify whether to search titles, set a date range, and filter to a specific author.

Initially i proofed both methods w/o using "Search title only" option that got me no resulting and i thought these was not possibility to try topic than.
