    I have about 350 PMs received and something similar in sent items.

    Is there any way of searching these messages as I'm trying to track down something which I may have discussed in one of the messages?

    THanks

    I don't think there is a built in search.

    What I used to do (on the desktop site) was download the pms as a text file, (option at the bottom of the screen download as xml/csv/text) and then use the text search in a text editor like notepad or wordpad.

    There isn't a way to search within the body of a message. However, if you know who you were talking to, the date range, or the subject you can filter using the Display Options within your Private Messages, which may make it easier to find.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Thank-you, this worked fine!
