1. A tab of Threads Started for a user to find their threads easily. I don't seem to be able to attach an image so, the suggestion is to put this on the user profile tabs.
Otherwise the user has to make the leap and realise that "Search titles and first posts only" also applies to the "By:" field. They can get their own threads this way but nobody knows this.
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/filter-categories-values/ - For a useful faceted search, develop filter categories and filter values that are appropriate, predictable, free of jargon, and prioritized.
"Search titles and first posts only" is not really predictable for the user. A "My Threads" option in the basic or advanced search, and a profile tab, would be great for everyone and get people to information faster, or stop them giving up and going to scroll another platform for an hour.
2. Search These Results - Letting users refine their search by searching results, rather than going back and starting the search again, is great usability that could improve Xf search out of sight.
Even having a set of filters on the search results page - date, new keywords, By: (user) etc would improve it and help forum members find what it is they are looking to engage with. Again, more likely to stop or delay them going and scrolling Twitter for an hour.
