Any way to search for nodes by one monk in reply to another monk?

Anyone have any tips for locating posts by a given monk that are replies to one of my posts... or my posts that are replies to a given monk?

    No, other than searching all of a given monk's replies with super search. I'm pretty sure this has been requested as an enhancement of super search before, though.

    I've posted a patch that I think will do it. Whether tye thinks its up to scratch for application I don't know. Its his baby so its up to him whether it gets applied.

      Thanks demerphq, regardless of whether it gets adopted.

      I wasn't actually pushing for change, just wondering if anyone had worked out a way of doing it with the existing facilities.

      That said, the number of times when I vaguely remember that a particular monk said something, either as a reply to me, or to which I remember replying, if this does become available it will be very useful. Often as not, these are small exchanges way down in a thread that have nothing whatever to do with the original subject, so the title of the thread doesn't stick in ones memory.

        After a couple of tweaks tye asked me to apply it. Now you can help test it. :-)

    Not the same, but definitely a related issue: Determining who has linked to one of your nodes?

    "posts by a given monk that are replies to one of my posts" is easy w/Super Search, assuming that the replies have the same title: search for posts by that monk and w/the title constraint.

    "posts that are replies to a given monk?" is harder (assuming you don't have a specific thread in mind to title search) .. would need to cross-reference that monk's nodes with your looking for the same thread (there could be some false positives in there, too).
