Subject: Searching old threads not working?

Anything older than 2011 isn't coming up - is there an archive option we can search (many forums do that) or are they just purged?

(Searching by author, and setting date range to 2005-01-01 to 2011)

It's working when I search mine before 2011. Threads are neither archived nor purged. Are you sure that there are threads for that user in that date range?

Hrm it's for me, and I've been active since 07 or 08 - but nothing shows before 2011. No name changes or anything like that. My logs/race reports go back far enough though. I tried blank search words as well as obvious ones like "run" or "volume". Interesting!

Here's my search for 2010-01-01 to 2011-01-01 - all the results are outside that range, and 2011 to boot:

http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/search/query.asp?fid=0&action=search&searchforumid=all&keywords=&mode=1&messages=1&author=Khyron&days=1&datemode=4&custom-start=2010-01-01&custom-end=2011-01-01

I suspect it's the USA vs ISO date format? 

Edit: I copied and pasted your search date parameters to the end of my search URL: datemode=4&custom-start=2005-10-04&custom-end=2010-07-14 and I got older posts...  Hrm...

So it's your end date parameter not being read quite right:

If I do 2010-06-01 to 2011-01-01 (lazy) I get only 2011 results which is dead wrong. 

If I do 2010-06-01 to 2010-12-31 I get the correct range. 

Easy enough to work around I guess, but if that first date range is invalid how many others might do the same?

marmadaddy - 2012-10-08 12:25 PM It's working when I search mine before 2011. Threads are neither archived nor purged. Are you sure that there are threads for that user in that date range?

I noticed some time ago that my posts earlier than 2004-07-14 are not searchable.  There should be quite a few for me between 2004-01-28 and 2004-07-14. They used to be there.  I remember searching for my first post a few years ago and found it.
