The "5 years max range" is a bit of a misnomer. For one, you can just clear the entire date range and search every post ever posted.
OK. Lights have gone on.
There seems to be a difference between the "Newer than" search and the "Older than" search.
- With the Newer than search, if you delete the number field ( ___ Weeks) then the system assumes you meant "1". Selecting the blank time period does a full search. (I didn't realize that there was a blank option above "Days" in the time period dropdown.)
- The Older than search is more forgiving and will search the entire system if you delete the number field or leave the time period blank.
Another way to find older posts might be to use Google. If you add in the following to your search, Google will only search the MB:
site:lcficmbs.com
I just doublechecked by searching on google for:
site:lcficmbs.com "Zebedee's Sons," and the relevant TOC was the first link returned.
Thanks. I'm not a Google user so I didn't try that. For any other Yahoo users, Yahoo Search has the same function and it does NOT find this story.
(My previous post is irrelevant so I have time. If anyone is interested in knowing how to create 3200 hyperlinks in five minutes, let me know.)
