Search engine doesn't like 'last month'
Discussion
OK Ted, more on the Search engine... If I enter 'radio reception' in the search topic and ask it to search 'all forums' for the 'last 6 months' it finds nothing, however, if I try the same search on 'all TVR forums' it finds several items. Now 'all TVR forums' must be a subset of 'all forums' so there appears to be something wrong in the logic there. Sorry Rich...
More on the search engine...
I wanted to quickly locate the thread "Blue Tuscan in Basingstoke?", so used the search engine to search for "basingstoke" in all fora. It didn't find it!
Ok, I thought, its probably not searching the title. However, looking inside the thread it does contain several instances of "Basingstoke".
So next I thought it might be case sensitive, so I searched on "Basingstoke", but still no hits.
I've also tried each of the date ranges (last week, last month, etc.) in case that bug still remained, but still no hit.
Over to you, Ted.

Ok, some results.
Using "TVR (all)" does find it. I guess I thought "General Gassing (all)" was all fora in the Gassing Station, but on reflection I can see that it isn't!
One thing to note though is that the date range seems to apply to the date the thread was started, rather than the date of the most recent post.
When I did my search on "Basingstoke" with "Last Week" set, it didn't find it, even though there has been a post to that thread yesterday. I had to select "Last Month" which then did find it. The date the thread was started was 12th March (ie. over a week ago).
