I have just done a search for the word Florida. I then order by last update time descending and it says the most recent thread is July, yet there is a thread from yesterday and another from the day before that don’t appear. Why is that?

Problems with the search function on PH I believe were first mentioned in the Magna Carta.

It hasn’t been fixed for the same reason that none of the many other website problems haven’t been fixed - incompetent management.

Google only says there is a thread mentioning Florida posted 1hr ago, not yesterday. Anyway google is a realtime search engine, Pistonheads isn't, it needs to be indexed (overnight probably) it won't see it until it is done. Depends when it is indexed, maybe done every 24hrs, maybe 48.

I searched for 'clio 172' earlier. it came up with 2 vaguely relevant threads and then a a load of random junk. Apparently no threads directly about 172's, yeah, course not rolleyes
