You’ve said this a couple of times. You are wrong. Discourse has a robust search system. You can search for @Acsenray in this thread, or across the board.

No one has any obligation to post a public profile, and whether or not they do so has no impact on your ability to find their posts. So long as you take 5 minutes to learn to use the software.
