If I'm missing an easy way to do some of this, please let me know! 
I've been trying to track down an old thread of mine to revive and the only options I'm seeing to do that are manually browsing through either the Your Posts page/the board itself or remembering what I called my thread and using the site-wide search. It got me thinking about a few ways that sifting through the site might be made easier.
What's RPR's opinion on some of these ideas for general ease of searching?
- a Your Topics option added to the Your Posts page
- the option for a keyword search bar in the Your Posts page
- a Your Posts option in the site-wide search drop menu
- the addition of a keyword search bar to each board of the forums (as seen here)
I'm aware that the site-wide search option can be narrowed to Forum Posts, but the results are still a lot to dig through, especially if I don't remember exactly what I'm looking for.

Ah, I think I can help a little with this. If you go into your settings and scroll all the way to the bottom there is a link titled Your Suscribed Topics which includes all the threads you've made unless you have unsubscribed from them manually.
However, this of course doesn't match up with your suggestion of a quick access link, but I thought I'd let you know there was such a link, just incase.
Otherwise, I have to say, I am keen on the idea of having a keyword search option for Your Posts built in. Using Control+F is usually what I do in this scenario, but sometimes it glitches and only searches what is showing on my screen and not checking the full scroll down of said page.

Ah, thanks! I'm glad there's some way to go about it at least. 
I would never have thought to dig around in there instead of the Your Posts page, so I still think a little bit of extra access would only be a good thing.
Ctrl+F is what I resort to as well, but there's still the issue of manually flicking through the pages, and it can be quite fiddly on my phone. Thanks for your thoughts!
