Hi, Steemians!
A popular missing feature here on steemit is the ability to quickly and easily find posts that mention you using the @username syntax. This functionality comes baked right into AskSteem, a steem search engine. I wanted to write a quick blog post showing you how easy it is the utilize this powerful capability to interact with those who are talking about you in their posts.
1. Go to AskSteem.com
To use this service you will need to visit AskSteem
2. Type Your Username in Quotes
In the search box prominently in the center of the page type your username in quotation marks including the @ symbol. So for example, if your username were @username you would enter "@username" into the search field.
3. Hit Enter/Return and View Results
After entering "@username" into the box hit the return key on your keyboard and wait for the search results page to load. After the page has successfully loaded you will find a list of all posts that have mentioned your username on the steem blockchain. Additionally, if you would like to exclude your own posts from the results you may use this syntax: "@username" NOT author:username.
Well, that wasn't too difficult, was it? You can apply this to any user on the blockchain to see who is talking about who. For more information about ways to search on AskSteem check out this post.
Happy searching!
One of the most frustrating things about steemit right now. I can't wait until I can get a notification on my phone about a mention, be able to click it, and go right to the mention. Until then, I'll be using this for sure.
Well hopefully they'll add this functionality natively but until then I guess it's up to us in the community to solve the problems ourselves. :)
And a great job you have done to solve it.
Hey you can esteem for that
Yes, I get notifications on my phone from esteem. But, if I were to click on it I don't get taken to the comment. It just opens esteem and displays my feed. Is there maybe something I'm missing and everyone else's notification takes them to the comment?
For me it works fine, @good-karma have a look.
You should definitely know about the RAW blockchain feed for yourself or anyone else.

Great tip!
Very useful.... I was having a conversation with @mrwang about this very thing recently. I'm sure he'll be happy to see this.
Glad I could help.
Dam right.. thanks for the breakdown of it too
Thanks good to know! I never use the google inbuilt search anymore, much easier with AskSteem! :)
This post received a 39% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @thekyle! For more information, click here!
Well now I'm just sad. No one mentioned me 😔😂
Nice integration into your awsum search tool. I use it every day.
For tracking mentions for @dinoo I'm currently using https://steemwatch.com/notifications connected to steem.chat, so I get notifications in real time.
Cool, I'll have to look into steemwatch.
You're very welcome my friend. :)
Really useful link, thank you. I found out I'd been mentioned on @curie several times a few months ago. 🙂
thanks 4 sharing! upvoted and following. have a good 1 :D
Excellent work @theklye !
Thanks, glad you found it helpful. :)
This is REALLY cool, thanks for the informative post!!!
Glad you liked it. :)
Hey thanks a lot for this!
Daaamn, this is one super-helpful post. It is annoying that the eSteem app tells you you were mentioned and by whom but won't take you to the post itself.
You, sir, are a life-saver.
Glad I could help. :)
Love how people are doing their best to improve this community!
OMG such a great article, i so worship you for all this work. Could you please do me a favor i am trying to make an article of mine more visible it has to do with a great place for people who love traveling.
Please check it your self and if you find it worthy to be resteemed then please do so.

Please follow me @eltooni
Thank you,

Thanks for the useful tip. Just finished my first story on steemit and franticly trying to figure out the finer workings here. :)
Glad I could help and welcome to steem! :)
Very useful stuff to see how much of an debate your name is in :)
Haha, glad you found it useful.
oh hey :-) thx
was thinking ok but just add username behind steemit... so same thing
took a moment to see the value here :-)
well done, thank you
this is great, i been wondering how i can see @ mentions.. thanks guys, you rock!
Thanks for this! Saw that I need to thank someone for some steem $$ I won in their contest, and ungrateful me just accepted. Thanks again!
Well this is pretty koool! I had no idea this was possible. I'll be using this one for sure. Funny all the things I keep learning about the platform from people like you just simply posting them. I've learned quite a few things just today! Thank you. Enjoyed! Up voted.
Finally I feel like Ive missed a few conversations because of this flaw.
Bu then again i guess if you're super popular it might get annoying.
This is awesome! I just took a quick peak and found a few mentions from weeks and even months ago that I completely missed seeing. I would have loved to have been notified at the time so I could have commented, but until that day comes, this tool will be incredibly useful. 😀
Do you plan on doing filter like, not our own posts or comment as well as ranked in order they have been publish or other filters. Cool app anyway.
Edit: Sorry I just saw the post about more in--deepth functionalities. Awesome work. It will be useful for me I think.
The following query would give you all the posts that mention you excluding your own:
"@thekyle" NOT author:thekyleI follow you now.
Thanks!
Thanks, this is helpful information because when I try the "magnifying glass" , it brought up Google.
Yeah, the built-in search can be a little feature lacking.
Hey that's pretty neat! Thanks.
Thank you very informative
Ey! Ty for share this. Too much usefull!!

Kyle this is very helpful. Thanks for sharing :)
Would you let me know your bitshares address so I can send you whaleshares for joining last week's hangout? :)
Thanks for the sharing. Nice post. It helps a lot.
Thanks. This is a frustrating thing I have come to find out. My husband tags me all the time, but I never know!
Thank you for the post and tip @thekyle
This comes in superhandy, thanks for being so thoughtful
