How to search posts more than 2 years. Is that not allowed?.

Hi Jay, Yes, if you click on a forum list, under the list of individual topics at the bottom, you should find a drop down that allows you to select 'from all dates' I believe. The default may be 2 years but you should be able to search much father back! Hope this helps!

Hi mig,

Thank you. I have checked. It indeed lists all the posts for all dates. But it does not allow searching for any key word. Allowing searching for any key word will be of use and will save time. Is that possible to incorporate such a search for the benefit of members.

Hi Jay, Yes, underneath the top banner, there is a horizontal menu bar with a Search option toward the right side. Clicking on this opens a new page that allows you to set options to refine your search: by Forum, by Keyword, and by a Date range, plus # of results to show per page. It sometimes takes a little fooling around with various keywords to get the results you're after. Also, if I recall correctly, I think the keyword must >= 3 letters minimum, so searching for ERP might not work as well as searching for ERP*. I believe an asterisk can be useful! I think you must be logged in to 'see' the search function option. I hope this helps your in your searching quest!

Hi mig,

Thank you. It did try it earlier and again after your indication. It is not giving the details for more than 2 years. More so, it stops with 50 posts, even if it is less than 2 years. Anything admin can do on this. It will be useful for anyone who wants to search.
