I'm sorry, but I couldn't figure out a better title. I hope I can describe what I am seeing...
Don't know if this is planned for some reason, or a minor bug. It isn't a problem. I am just curious.

Using IE10.
I look at any forum and see the name of the most recent contributors to any thread, followed by an icon.
I can click that icon to go to the most recent post.

But, to the right of that icon is the number of posts in the thread. If I click that number, it gives me a small dialogue box with the list of all posters, listed in order of the number of posts they have made.

If I click the number of posts, I should be delivered to the list of posts that member made in the thread, but I only get an error message, "Sorry - no matches or filtered words used in the search query. Please try some different terms."

But, if I copy the url from that dialogue box and paste it into a new browser tab, I get a functional window, a list of all posters, and clicking on their post count delivers me to their list of posts in the thread.

Cliicking Admin's "9" gives me this:

Just curious why the searches render different results.
