Default Problem with search function

Having trouble using the search function. Going back to get some old data and can't seem to get anything before Sept 2001. I want to search threads from 1 year ago and can't seem to get back there.

In addition, it only returns 300 hits. If it finds the search criteria in the same thread it returns a hit for each message in the thread that contains the search words. So 300 hits is not going very far. Is this still under development or am I doing something wrong?

Hi there!
We archived all of 2001, or most of it.
I'm going to have them archive all of it soon.
I don't know about the other. Let me mess around with it.

Entries starting in September are in the 2001 archives. Go to the main forum page and scroll down to the bottom. You should see a forum called the 2001 Archives. When you get there, remember to change the display to show all posts. If you have it set to just show the last few days, nothing will show up.

About the 300 post limit, it's set to keep the demands on band width usage to a managable level. Could you be more specific in your search so that's not a problem?

One way to limit the number of posts returned is to change the search in box to "subject only" rather that entire message. This will return only "hits" which are in the subject line.

Hope this helps.

Steve :smile:

Ah, I've got it. I didn't notice the yearly archives. Thanks!
