Post# of 985
ergo, The Bob Zumbrunnen on SI gave out a trick that may be used
for Premium Plus members there, or here on IH where Matt treats us
all as equals. (Trick) 7: Enter your search words (leave blank, aka null)

Its limited, but could be helpful at times for a member search
like you asked to do, as follows:

"... to isolate the posts of any specific poster on the board."

I do examples from your mention of: "Imagine I could just isolate Zeev."

Starting Point: From IH's home page, using Advanced Search

Enter into: Investors Hub Advanced Search (Public Messages)

ok,
Use the follow as a template,

1: Select Author criteria (Zeev goes here)
2: Select Recipient criteria (use to help narrow the search, or everyone)
3: Select Board criteria (the specific board you are interested in)
4: Enter Earliest Post Date (leave blank for all dates)
5: Enter Latest Post Date (leave blank for all dates)
6: Select word-handling method (not applicable)
7: Enter your search words (leave this totally blank, aka null)
8: Select Results Display Order (not applicable)

example 1
On the board: Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics
Not very helpful here since Zeev's profile page shows you his activity,
and Zeev has lately posted near 100% on this board.
But if Zeev happens to populate his personal turnips equally on about
2 or more boards, then his profile page has them mixed sorted by time,
and then this above method would only list his posts on that specific board,
something as if Zeev's profile page listed his last 50 posts on each board
that he has posted on, as in seperate groups.

example 2
Lets say you are looking for a very old post by Zeev on a board that
he visits very infrequent, like once a year. You have no clue to help
using the board's search feature, and even if you did it most likely
as you mentioned, would have hits with many other posters posts.
ok,
For this example lets do a real one on: The Question and Answer Board
The above method generates the following output.

(just a mess of a copy & paste from 10/22/2002 - 6/18/2004)
