Posts in buddy threads aren't indexed in the 'board search' function (it would make finding things WAY too hard). (Posts made by, are considered part of board search functioning)
To do a more comprehensive search of the 'entire' site, you would have to use Google Site Search. Be sure to enter your username into the search box, along with the terms you're searching for.
(90% of the time, when I'm looking for something, I use google site search, or I search 'within the forum'. That link is in the upper right column of each forum)
