forum search does not find old articles anymore - Steffen - 2013-08-10
Hi,
I just noticed that old articles are no longer properly found when searching for keywords in them.
In my case, I was looking for the old "which color to use for silver" thread.
Reason was that the default of the search function currently adds a constraint
"only search posts which are not older than 1 year".
I find this silent default addition confusing and would like to ask to drop it.
A user wanting to add a time constraint can still do that in the "advanced search" function.

This is now fixed and the default is all dates

good!
I think that's a much better default.
Noone expects search results to be not found because they're too old.
Even if they're old, they still can be important.
Thanks!
