Well the wedge forum has been going since 2004, but I notice that you can only search the past two year's posts. Which means that some old and good advice is no longer accessible. Should we be raising this with the management?

It is a PITA

"We have limited searching to 2 years to speed up the search function as it was taking forever when searching through the whole history.

There is the possibility of adding a seperate search which searches all the years of PH which will be a much slower search, we have been looking into the feasability of this, but is currently lower down in the priority list."

If you know the original poster then it is possible to use his/her profile and scroll back through the mists of time to find a thread.

LOL - I think Combine has a few haystacks with needles in too...

The search needs to be comprehensive, a drop-down with 'all dates' is a no-brainer.
