When I click on the "Find all posts by Will__" link on my profile page, only the first two posts are mine, the rest are by people with names similar to mine.

Note: My username is "Will" followed by two underscores.

When I try the "Find all posts by one-A-N", it tries to send me to the following address ... which is never going to work. It obviously doesn't cope with hyphens!

So I can well believe that you also have problems with the underscores in your user name.

This feature does not work on a name with a hyphen. It will return the search only looking at the characters before the hyphen which is sometimes another individual's username.

Otherwise known as ... a bug.
