PM Searching is now possible with sender specified

Per @Lurker's suggestion in the other thread. This will force an index and should resolve the problem in most cases. Or at least enough that it can be managed by increasing the search delay.

I'm confused, do you mean you have to search in PM by the person who sent the pm? Because I've been searching by different usernames that I've had PMs with and it's still giving me the same message as when search was turned off...

I knew that the DB course I took in school would be good for something...

You have to use the advanced search screen and set the Sender field, works for me

The non-advanced button does not work, might as well remove it (if possible)

Technically other staff can do this. It is rather messy, however.

The plan is to leave MyBB behind anyway. This stuff is just stopgap measures while new software is getting ready.
