Why is it that when I do a site search I only get hits for posts on or after Sept. 9, 2006?
My search criteria very definitely defines the search to be specific to "Any Date".
Puzzled and frustrated,
John

I had a similar problem. I was searching for a thread for which I had an exact title, but the results said that no such post was found.

John,
Search results do max out at a certain number (I think 300?) so if you were searching for a common phrase that might be why. Also I am not sure how user permissions affect searches (for example if the posts I made in members F&F would display in a search performed by someone who didn't have access to that forum). To be honest I am not sure about a lot of the details of the search function of this forum and I've been confused by my own results or lack of results a couple of times in the past. I think it's a shortcoming of this software.
If no one is getting any results prior to Sept. 9th it might be related to the server issues? I will ask.
I either got no results at all, or a very limited number in the low teens or single digits so that is not the problem. Try it for yourself. Pick a thread from say 6 weeks ago and do a search for a key word. See what you come up with.
I just tried it again with the same results. All search parameters are set to get maximum results. No Go.
Lots of love,
John

She has Elmer Fudd's magic helmut as well, I hear.
Much love, Larry

Hi guys, well the problem is still here. I just did a search of the whole site for user lostcowboy, any date, I got 12 hits, I should have gotten between 200-300 hits. I looked at the source code for the search page.

Yup, that does appear to be and issue. I also just did another search and found the problem to be still there. A bit frustratig, but at least we have the site running now which is a far site better than a few weeks ago!
Again, big thanks to those who are working to keep this place going.
Lots of love,
John
