Can I search Answers by Yahoo screen name?

How can i look for an old friend on yahoo answers? i know the screen name but thats it?

  • i had an old friend on yahoo answers but my account was deleted, i know the screen name but thats about it i cant remember any of the questions they asked

  • Answer:

    Put your friend's username into the Google search box. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Advanced Search." That will take you to a form that will narrow the search parameters. Type your friend's username into the box that says "exact phrase", go down to the box that asks for a domain and put in "answers.yahoo.com", and hit the button. You can also specify the language and time range of the posts, if you like.

If by "screen name" you mean their Yahoo! ID, that won't help. ("screen name is an AOL term). You would need to know the persons Yahoo! Answers nick name. If it's not something too common (same names can be used by other Y!A users), you can do a Google search for that Y!A nickname ("nickname on yahoo answers). There is no option to search for someone on this site.
