Incomplete search results

[The Ryan]

I've had search results that didn't return all the threads in the specified period, and then when I lengthen the period they appear. Any idea what's going on?

[Q.E.D.]

The search function is based on local SDMB server time. The time you see is local server time plus your time adjusment. For example, my time right now is 5:54 PM EDT, but the server time is 4:54 CDT. So, any posts I search for that are between 11 PM and 12AM server time won't show up on a search for that day, because my time is an hour later the next day.

But that doesn't explain why a post from four days ago doesn't show up on a search of last week's threads.

[Q.E.D.]

Hmmm...no it doesn't. I dunno then, blame the hamsters. It's what the rest of us do.
