upper right (at least on the desk top version)

or use the advanced search

put your username as the author
choose a forum if you know it or choose all
choose type of post, or all
choose a date range
choose a keyword

note - the advanced search is better for date ranges than for keywords for some reason

Maybe I’m dense or maybe it’s because I’m using my iPhone: I don’t see the google search bar or advanced search anywhere on my screen.

you can change your settings to classic instead of mobile,

or try this - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=search

edit to correct directions because I didn't actually change the settings on my phone

Classic is hard to work with on the iPhone so I can see why I had the mobile setting.
