Several times in the last 2 months I have searched for posts I’d made sometime between, say, 6 months ago & 2-3 years ago. And not found them. It just happened again.

It’s certainly possible that I just didn’t choose the right search terms, but given the threads’ topics, lengths, etc., it seems doubtful that nobody in the thread used the words I tried. I use only one word for each search attempt, not being sure how the board’s search function handles multiple words.

Bottom line: Do the admins have any knowledge of any missing content, or any searchability gaps in content, from the last couple years?

You’ve had the misfortune to post to quite a few threads that were started by socks/trolls, and the threads were disappeared. Sorry about that.
