status-completed Dec. 9, 2015

Implemented for 10k users, 2k on beta sites

See: Enable searching with deleted:1 for 10k users

Ability to use the deleted:0, deleted:1, deleted:all search queries

Currently, these are only available to moderators. This is a feature that I miss dearly on sites where I'm not a mod.

This would also allow users to view a list of all their own deleted posts (search deleted:1 user:me), essentially making it a more powerful version of bluefeet's request.

Keeping this... relatively less prominent, for lack of better wording, as a search query and not as a link, would also help with users who would abuse the feature to whine and complain about everything. (Similarly to how it's really possible to view split vote counts before earning the privilege, but simply not advertising this is sufficient to prevent excess load on the server.)

status-review (Jon Ericson)

I like this idea as augmentation of the 10k privilege. It would let people find their own posts without making them prominent on the user's profile. There might be some abuse scenarios here, unfortunately. Perhaps it would be wise to limit searches to, say, allow user:me and not user:1. I'll run the idea up the (internal) flagpole and see who salutes.
