Thread Name: Search problem
Subject: RE: Search problem
That's probably the last time the index was updated. Text searches over large bodies of text are usually made by keeping indexes of the words, otherwise searching becomes too time-consuming. IIRC, the Mudcat indexes aren't updated in real-time, but by a one-time indexing job. 2010 is probably the last time that was done.

With song-titles (and anything where a suitable word appears in the thread title) it's usually possible to use the filter on the thread titles, setting Age to All.

You can also search on usernames if you know someone who contributed to a thread you're looking for.

Otherwise you can start a thread and see if anyone remembers what you're looking for.

You can also use a google site-specific search adding site:www.mudcat.org to your google search parameters
