tommy0421,

I did a message search on their name ... and when I didn't get any
results, I tried searching for messages with their email address.
Again, I got no result.

I believe that this common frustration is because the message search includes only the message body, not the display name or email address of the posting member.

-- they sign their messages (I discovered) --

That should have been found. The only exception is if they sign by way of a signature line, and you've selected Exclude Signatures in the search Tools button.

I looked at their profile. Under Activity History I found they have
posted several messages in the past few years.

That's one way.

Just below the Activity History button is the User Name field, which is a link to their profile in your group. Click that and on their Profile there is an "All Posts By This Member" link. This produces a search results list more like what you may have originally expected.
