There are better ways than Google to find your own posts. You can easily get them from your profile page too.

Ok.
But I don't use Google Custom Search.
I use Search Forums / (x) Show Posts
entering "jack2" as a query string
I get
The UNIX and Linux Forums - Search Results
4 results only and,
as you can see
the following thread is lost
How Unix tee to send pipeline output to 2 pipes ?
So one time a new thread is indexed by poster's name
and another time is not.
I don't know what search engine is behind
Search Forums
and what options are set, but it works as it worked in the above examples
I am fully aware , your excellent forum is visited by many visitors,
so some fine tuning was necessary due to high traffic
"
Your search is in progress and you will be taken to the results in a moment. Thank you for your patience.

Really excellent place.
