I was trying to search messages I have posted in the "some math challenges" thread in off-topic, but couldn't figure out a way to do that. I tried to put the thread title in the first search box and my nickname on the second, and checked the "search for all terms" checkbox, assuming that it would then show only the posts made by me on that thread, but that didn't work. (Perhaps it's applying an "or" operation instead, or using only the author field.) Is there any way of doing this?

Only if you were to load all the 1156 posts into one single page. Besides being infeasible, is it even possible?

Oh, it's definitely feasible. The moderator thread split tool displays all posts on a single page, and I can open up the math challenges thread (with all 1156 posts on a single page) with no problem. I don't think it's possible for non-moderators to get such a page with all posts though.
