Thread Name: Search Function glitch?
Subject: RE: Search Function glitch?
Well, the SuperSearch index still hasn't been updated since the crash of the Summer of 2005. That means that messages more recent than 2005, don't show up in a search. The Filter and the Old Advanced Forum Search (in QuickLinks) cover the whole history of Mudcat, since they search thread and message titles and user name - not the entire text of Mudcat. As Kat found out, the Filter will not return more than 1,000 results.

Max restored the Forum several months ago, so all messages should be in proper order. HOWEVER, the restoration set off the message counters, so sometimes the Forum Menu shows a thread has 3 messages when it has a hundred and three.

There are search tips in one of the top three messages of the FAQ - I forget which one.
