Only 2 yrs of searching allowed?

[TonyHetherington]

In the search I've noticed that you're only allowed a maximum of 2 yrs in the advanced search?! Found it a bit frustrating earlier trying to look for soemthing that (ironically) was done in October 2005.

What's the reason for it; does any longer make it particularly power/server/memory hungry?

If possible, I'd think it much more useful to have longer. 2 yrs isn't very long in the grand PH scheme of things.

Searching is incredibly power hungry on our servers as it looks back through the data. So we have to balance performance vs history of searching. At the moment this is as far back as we can go without causing massive long searches until we implement a new way of searching.

Ah I assumed so.

Keep trying, you will eventually get connected to that server that gets stuck in the past
