    I searched for this question and couldn't find it, yet I think someone must have asked before. :/

    How can I find all comments I have ever posted? I am looking for a particular comment that I don't remember the orignal question, and I can't find it. :/
  1.  
    One way is to download one of the MO database dumps, and search directly through them.

    See http://tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/266/mo-public-database-dumps
  2.  

    Annoyingly, the site doesn't provide a way to search comments (see this meta.SO thread). In addition to looking at the database dumps as Akhil suggested, you can use Google to find a comment containing a particular phrase with a search like

    site:http://mathoverflow.net "canonical Lebesgue sigma algebra"

    Alright... thanks. Honestly I think the google method might work, if I can just remember the wording :/

    You can also go to your user page and press the "recent" tab. I just looked on mine and I could find any comment, answer or question I've made since April!
